Question: When and where do you think this picture was taken?
I think that this picture was taken in one of the southern states around 1865.

Question: Compare your life to the lives of the people in this picture.
My life varies greatly from the lives of those in this picture. I have a quality of life that surpasses those pictured here, and I owe a debt of gratitude to people such as these for the life that I enjoy today.

Question: How would you feel if you lived at the time this picture was taken?
It's hard to say exactly how I would feel without actually being placed in that situation. I would like to think that I would fight nobly to help emmancipate the slaves.
