4.  George Washington helped in the Revolutionary War.  Made Daniel’s father free because his father fought in the war.  He later became the first president of the United States.

6.  We think you should read this book because it gives an enormous amount of information about how a slave ran free, how it was extremely difficult, and how America became a country. It was so good we didn’t want to put it down ever – we would have read all afternoon. Even though we couldn’t relate to what was happening, we could feel how wrong it was.

7.  Page 187: “I couldn’t go back on a promise from a dying man.”  This quote shows that Daniel really cares about what he is doing. Dr. Johnson was in a conference with Captain Ivers and Daniel could have just run but he was mature and brave. He stood up for what was right.

8.  Our favorite character was Daniel Arabus.  He made a promise to Mr. Featherscraft and never broke it – he was loyal and respectful.  He was young and still tried to save Mr. Featherscraft – he was trustworthy  At the end when Captain Ivers was there, Daniel was brave and stood up to his former master.

9.  They didn’t have cars in the late 1700s, they used stage coaches.  There were slaves before America was a country and after.  Our country fought with the British in the Revolutionary War.  There were no presidents when people came to America.  George Washington really fought in the Revolutionary War and he even crossed the Delaware River.
