Eliza Lucas Pinckney

Eliza helped me understand South Carolina history by knowing that she had something to do with indigo. In class we had talked about indigo and how it was very important and rice had also rice had been a big cash crop after indigo. Eventhougth everyone was discouraging Eliza from growing it (even her mother) she kept on doing it and we have her to thank for that today. In the book it even says that the state of  South Carolina owes a deby of gratitude to her nad it also says that indigo was of great economic importance to the economy of South Carolina. 

What did you think about while you read the womens stories?

As i read about Judith and Affra i realized that they were very poor. They didnt have any money and they were lucky if they got anything to eat in one day. I started to think about how they would feel. I couldnt really feel exactly what they probably felt because i have never been in that situation, but if i was imagining it i may feel hopeless and abandoned. I would be worried all the time because i dont know if im going to be able to eat anything ever again. But hopefully that will never happen to me.
