While railroads helped the United States become more prosperous in the first half of the 19th century, there are two sides to every story. Study the poster from the National Archives, and answer the following questions:
1. What is happening in the picture? Describe all the people, things and actions taking place
2. Who is the intended audience for the poster? What makes you think that?
3. What is the message that the poster is trying to tell to the viewer?

I think that most of you did a great job in interpreting this primary source. I wonder, do you think that there are media with a similar message as this broadside in our modern world, perhaps in TV, or on the internet? Of course, we probably won't have a warning about railroads, but can you find a modern example of a warning?
For extra credit, let me know during the month of February.
