Setting: Time

The time of my story is 1850. The best form of transportation was either trains or boats. Boats made slavery more noticeable. Therefore anti-slavery groups transported using boats. My first picture in the left corner is the Lois McClure. This boat has been used since 1862 and is the type of boat that people from 1850 would commonly travel on. The Lois McClure currently sails Lake Champlain. The picture next to the Lois McClure is casual dresses women from 1850 would wear during the day. These 2 silk dresses are from the Victorian Period (1840-1864). The picture below the Lois McClure is a picture of Millard Fillmore. This man was President for part of my story (1850 to 1853). He became president upon the death of Zachary Taylor. The picture next to Millard Fillmore is another popular form of transportation: the train. Trains were popular because they were so cheap. My last picture is the men's style of clothing in 1850. This type of clothing was also from the Victorian Period. This outfit was used for day and night.
