Student Names: Caroline Chunk, Laura Gorilla (Vanilla) Topic 1: Abolitionist Sinkhole in Chicago; Chicago role in the abolition movement/ underground rails (At the time of the abolitionist movement, how did Chicago create pro-abolition action/How did this influence the emancipation of slaves later on? ) Rationale: I think it would be very interesting to see Chicago involvement in the abolitionist movement, since I don’t see much information about Illinois’ abolitionists and anti-slavery supporters other than Abraham Lincoln.
Since Chicago became a ajar place for the underground Railroad, it helped free many slaves, and the abolitionists of Chicago helped encourage the emancipation movement. This movement occurred during the sass’s, and many people in Chicago were involved in this movement. Topic 2: Homemaker affairs; How Chicagoans reacted through protest In desire of the 8-hour workday Rationale: Through this project, we see how far people went In the protests to get what they desired, or their rights. What’s significant about this is that we could compare it to current protests we have, and we can see how drastically law Akers or protesters have changed.
This occurred In the sass, and we currently have the 8-hour workday. It’s Interesting to see that over 100 years later, we got what they were achieving for.

This is significant because we can see how greatly a war can alter the social view of minorities. Though WI mainly talks about how countries Like Germany or Japan were affected, we get to analyze the affection of a minority group In the States. Topic 4: The Lincoln Douglass debates Rationale: I did a project about this In 7th grade, and I believe It would fit perfectly with this year’s theme. This shows the dolls In clues as they vote for the senator during the abolition movement. It’s also Interesting to see Lincoln Influence prior to is presidency.
