  3. Their chat and the people I used. The people that will speak or participate in this chat is Harriet Tubman: SlaveSaver and Eli Whitney: CottonGinMaker. SlaveSaver: Hello, may I ask you a question good sir? CottonGinMaker: Hello, ask away but first what is your name? SlaveSaver: Oh I forgot my manners my name is Harriet Tubman and what is your name? CottonGinMaker: My name is Eli Whitney. What be your question? SlaveSaver: That is who I thought you were I have been meaning to ask you Why did you make the Cotton Gin? Did you want to make life easier for slaves, did you make it by accident, or did you want to make a prophet? When did you get the idea for it? How long did it take to make? CottonGinMaker: Well I was listening to the farmers say how slow they picked cotton (that’s how I got the idea) and so I got to thinking, maybe I could make something to help. It took about a year to make. SlaveSaver: Oh, you did it to help the farmers. Well, when did you make it? Harriet Tubman

  4. Their chat continued…. CottonGinMaker: I made it in 1793, and also what came over you to save so many slaves? I know it was wrong to have a slave, but I am curious. SlaveSaver: I did, and did it proudly, it because I too was a slave. I always say my favorite saying “I had reasoned this out in my mind….I had a right to liberty or to death; if I could not have one, I would have the other, for no man should take me alive”. CottonGinMaker: That makes sense but how did you do it, I mean save so many slaves? SlaveSaver: Well the Underground Railroad helped. CottonGinMaker: What is the Underground Railroad? SlaveSaver: The Underground Railroad is a system that helped enslaved people escape slavery. CottonGinMaker: Was it truly an underground train? SlaveSaver: Oh no afraid not it was just the name not really a train not really underground just a path that goes on for miles. CottonGinMaker: Were you ever scared on the Underground Railroad? Eli Whitney

  5. Their Chat continued…. SlaveSaver: Why yes very some times but I always knew I would make it through. CottonGinMaker: Did you ever lose any one? SlaveSaver: No actually one of my sayings is “I never lost a passenger and I never ran my train off the track”. CottonGinMaker: Well I have to go now bye nice to meet you Harriet Tubman. SlaveSaver: And you Eli Whitney. A really cotton gin still in good shape. Slaves caught after running away. The End Hope you enjoyed it!
