How did Booker T Washington become famous?
Booker T. Washington left the Burroughs plantation in 1865 when he was nine years old. After President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, Booker and his family were free - no longer slaves who belonged to Mr. Burroughs. They traveled to Malden, West Virginia to be with Booker's stepfather.
Booker's family was lucky because they were together. Despite the fact that they had to work hard at demanding and grueling jobs, they had food and somewhere to live. Many former slaves were not so lucky.
Educating slaves was against the law, so Booker never went to school before 1865. This is what he had to say when he remembered one of his jobs on the Burroughs' plantation - carrying books to school for one of Mr. Burroughs' daughters: I had the feeling that to get into a schoolhouse and study would be about the same as getting into paradise.
Booker worked persistently at many jobs to earn money to go after his dream of learning to read and write. Many generous people also helped him to reach his goal. He then became a teacher, and later founder and principal in 1881 of The Tuskegee Institute in Alabama.
He had grand goals for his black students. He urged them to return to the plantation districts and show the people there how to put new energy and new ideas into farming as well as into the intellectual and moral and religious life of the people. Booker T. Washington, former slave, became the most important black teacher in the United States.
How did farming change between 1750-1900?

But as the revolution of machinery came, there were many new machines and tools for farming. Soon, fewer workers were needed and most of them started to work in factories.
There were also better crops and harvests. Moreover, as the transports got faster the foods got fresher and farming got better.
