This is also a book that talks about the time of the war of New Orleans. African Americans did not feel welcome at the battle of New Orleans anniversaries. Their children would be blamed by black people for having the event being canceled. Also, if black people participated in events, white groups might refuse to join in.

Phase Four

Fact 1 paragraph: "On the day Nashville newspapers announced that the United states declared war on Great Britain, one could find advertisements for salt, iron and nails, bricks, groceries, writing paper, corn-shelling machines, as well as a fifty dollar reward for the capture of a runaway slave. such advertisements for escaped slaves were common in southern newspapers of the day. There was little hope for a slave except escape, unless a grateful owner emancipated him. even under the pretense of due process of law, slaves had little chance of receiving justice."

Summary 1: Slaves had hope for different things except escaping. people were rewarded with different things such as prizes and money for capturing a runaway slave.

Fact 2 paragraph: "The park superintendent did try to encourage the participation of African American Boy Scout groups in the reenactments, even offering to assist in the formation of a local chapter for the Fazendeville community. In the 1950s and 1960s, though, few African Americans in the New Orleans area would risk allowing their children to partake in the reenactments. If a black scout group participated, white groups might refuse to join in, opening the chance for whites to blame the black children for the event being canceled that year. African Americans simply did not feel welcome at the Battle of New Orleans anniversaries, a situation that only grew worse after the NPS pressured the Fazendeville residents to sell their land."

Summary 2: African Americans weren't as welcomed as white people at the Battle of New Orleans anniversaries. If an event was canceled, black children would be blamed. white people would refuse to join events black people participated in.
