Love, Divorce, and Slavery on Butler Island Plantation



Today in class we read about the relationship between English actress Fanny Kemble and plantation heir Pierce Butler. Their relationship would shortly end following Butler's inheritance of his grandfather's two plantations on the coastal islands of Georgia.

Your homework is to continue to read and markup the handout on the Butler's. Tomorrow in class we will go over Fanny's reactions and response to the conditions of the Butler's slaves.

On a personal note,

I can not say, "Thank you" enough to all of those who helped out with the Red for Children's Hospital. Over one hundred books, games, puzzles, and toys were donated, and we raised over $300 to help families of patients pay for parking. Thank you so much for taking part in a wonderful cause.
