Have you ever known anyone who is a Doctor Who fan? Have you ever scoffed at it's cheesy special effects? or just don't like it? Well, you haven't even given it a chance?  It's a superb show. Its aimed at an audience of all ages,there is no foul language and/or bloody violence or any "adult" material that you'r children might stumble upon while watching.
However, speaking of the show recently, it is coming up on it's 50th anniversary where the 10th Doctor, David Tennant is coming back whilst the 11th is on set, but the script and plot are unknown to fans, or also known as (whovians). It was first actually meant as an educational program for young kids, to teach history using a time machine. See? Isn't it already interesting? Even our own American producer/director, Steven Spielberg said that, "The world would be a poorer place without Doctor Who." This came from a director that had made most of the American classic's: E.T Jurassic Park, Jaws, and War of the Worlds and many others and has one over 60 awards. Even the Queen of England herself is a huge fan of Doctor Who! Now, why should you watch Doctor Who? For four reasons, it's educational, it's british, the Doctor, and the life lessons it teaches you and to be weird is okay.

Doctor who is a very educational, it is very geeky. because as I stated before Doctor who did start as an educational television show.However it has taught me different things, like how to pronounce Vincent Van Gogh's name correctly. I also learned French and Italian phrases like "Allonsy-y" which means "let's go" and "Molto bene"which in Italian means "very good". It also has taught me really cool facts like when they were building the Empire State Building people were starving in the streets and the homeless camped out in the middle of Central Park, the rich instead used their money to build the tallest building.

Doctor who is in facts British, it has all british actors and when they do have american guest actors those are the episode they travel to America. Like Andrew Garfield who played in the new movie Spiderman. I find the dialogue and the storylines of these British writers and produces unique and different then our American movies.


Dr. Who itself has taught me many things. Different things, and things are able to make me a better person. I learned violence could never solve anything, to be okay with who you are, and to love the people who you love for being yourself, to be strange and to look up at the night sky, and to search for a little blue box.

I think you should watch Dr. Who, because its a wonderful British show, it is educational, it's British, and has cool characters, and I feel this TV show should have more publicity. I strongly think you should watch it! Just watch one episode and if you don't like it that's fine.

How free were slave's really in the North? Really try and define free, to be free is the right to act without restraints. You define yourself as a free individual while you still are governed by a government, you have restrictions but still have the Bill of Rights and a Constitution to protect you word and define yourself as an individual in your community. Blacks in the North which mostly consisted of children of ex-slaves, ex-slaves and slaves freed by their masters were "free". This was a restricted life though, discriminated with harsh prejudice, and treated as less than a person, and given not rights but privileges. They did have specific political, economic, social, and religiuos freedoms.

Blacks political freedoms were very restricted the 1860's. In all of the states except for Maine blacks were allowed to vote in New England (Doc A). More than half of the mid-west restricted Male suffrage. Massachusetts had the best attitude towards blacks though, they were the only state to allow suffrage of Black Males and allow them Jury Duty (Doc A). In New York though, it was mandatory for a $250 property requirement to be able to vote, for example in 1855 out of 11,000 blacks only 100 could vote (Doc A). However  African American Females still had no right to suffrage or jury rights.

Charles Mackay very bluntly described his view on Blacks in the North as he spoke for his race, "we" the white men(Doc B).For he clearly stated the Economic Freedoms of Blacks. "We" will tolerate the black man, that the white men "shall not buy him, or sell him" but they will tolerate the black man as someone not even worth to associate with (Doc B) They will permit his existence to continue. He can pay his taxes and perform duties. However he is to "inferior to their presence he may not be permitted to dine with them, marry their daughters, to attend social events, concert, party's, and chorales. He is of "another race". To find a job to support their existence even proved just as hard. Even of as the same educational degree as a white man a black man was of no equal, for what job could he receive when no white man would want to work beside him? (Doc C).

  In 1819 a young African American in first of his class stated how he felt about the prejudice against his race, of his Social Freedoms(Doc C). For how could he achieve a career when because of his color, no one would employ him, for know white man would work beside him. Just as Charles Mackay said, white people would not want any black sort of "inferior"  "race" associating with them (Doc B).

Blacks did have religious freedoms which was probably their most liberated privilege.The church was a way of coming together in a spiritual and social way to connect to each other while they could freely share their thought on their religion and connect more in the community's social causes and to fight for their rights and to rally against abolition, suffrage and even printed their own newspaper(Doc D). They AfricanCongregational Church in New Haven even offered a literary club! (Doc D).

Blacks in the North may have had their rights but they were small and without those   political, economic, social, and religious freedoms right's, blacks had, they would be even father away from "freedom". Blacks in my opinion were not free enough. A free slave should have been counted as, as equally as a white man and their color should not restrict them from education social or economic rights that white men had.
