Modern Marvels and the Canal

Hi gang!!!
This weekend you had to watch a video on the canals of the United States.  The truth is that, for its time, it was an amazing venture!  What do you see as the most amazing part of the canal project?  How did the building of the canal open the Ohio Territory?  What were some of the dangers of the canal?  Would you have wanted to have traveled on a canal packet?  

Fort Meigs!!!!!

What a fortunate group we were today to have such a great guide on our trip to Fort Meigs. We learned so much about the War of 1812.  What do you think life would have been like to live in the fort at the time of the War of 1812?
What would you have eaten when you were in the fort?  What kind of bread would you have eaten?  What kind of container would you have drank out of?   What was your favorite part of the tour?  What was your least favorite part?

Can you remember who the commander was of the US troops?  Let us know what you think :)
