Peg-Legged+Joe

This guy is an example of a hero or of a trooper. He single handedly freed hundreds of slaves, and keep in mind that he did all of this on a peg leg. How could you have the courage to do that, that is incredible!!!!! It is one thing to risk your life but to do it for a great cause like this guy did is amazing. He is an example of an unselfish guy. How could you have the patience i bet the slaves barely even knew how to talk. This guy was doing this for a great cause and he knew what was right and what was wrong and he told himself slavery is bad and i am going to do something about it. I think he is one of the most respectable men during the slavery time. That took a lot of courage but he knew what was at stake and it was innocent black people who deserve a chance to live and experience America for what it truley is and all of its buties. What do you guys think about this peg-legged Joe. 1205464682

This guy really impacted on the underground railroad. He guided many slaves by just being there friends. Since he was white it took a while and it was hard at first but in the end it did pay off and it turned into a win-win situation for everyone. Peg Leg Joe taought the slaves many things but the most important thing he taought them that would impact there lives forever was the song called Follow the Drinking Gourd. This was basically a map for the slaves. Many people used this as a code. As you may not know the drinking gourd is the Big dipper. So he told the slaves always to follow the drinking gourd which was north. If Joe was caught he would have been in a giant amount of trouble and just to see him fall would be a shame to the slaves becuase he could not help them. Joe was really an inspration becuase he stood up and tried to find away to help. He was very brave and impacted many lives. 1205468069Ale2

Peg-legged Joe is someone in history who should be remembered and recognized as a influential and courageous idol is history. He stuck up for what he believed in even though he risked getting himself in trouble. He secretly helped the slaves becuase he knew it was the right thing to do and he used the advantage of the color of his skin and his power of authority to help the people who really needed the help. He guided those into a better life that he already had the ability to have. I think that this man's determination should awarded and remmeber throughout the centuries.

Peg legged joe was a major contributor to help freeing slaves, he should be remembered for that, but i think that it stinks that people call him "peg leg" joe. He deserves a better nickname. I think that someone who does something good should get a nickname they can be proud of, like "lionhearted" or " the conqueror". Names say a lot about people and i think peg leg Joe got the short end of the stick. mme
