  19. Things I found interesting about this video are that Abraham lincon considered opening war against the south and the north. I also found that Harriet tubmans spirits would follow rivers and hide in swamps and forests was interesting, and that there was a potato famine in Ireland, and because of it many of them died of diseases but one in particular called typhus. During the 1860's Montreal was prospering because the economy is doing well, and they're becoming more wealthy. And lastly, during that time when Montreal became more wealthy, technology became more advanced and they invented the camera and power trains. -Emily
