Good morning Fred, Although I have never read anything Mark Twain wrote on this particular subject, his writings were so vast and I haven't read them all. I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed reading your lesson plan though. While I did know about blacks owning slaves, I didn't know the particulars of how that came about, especially in SC where I live. I was a teacher for 17 years and was always looking for good, relevant lesson plans. That certainly falls into this category. There's a black forum on Facebook that I belong to that I'm sure would love to read this information. Is it possible to share it with them?
