What did Douglass do to this man? Mr. Covey called on Hughes, but Douglas kicked Hughes in the stomach.

Mr. Covey would often take the slaves by surprise–staying indoors for most of the day and then suddenly showing up with his whip in hand. He worked the men in all sorts of harsh weather and pushed them to the extreme in their work. For example, one day Douglass was working the fan, and he became faint.

When farmers have a troublesome slave, they send him to Covey. Covey’s method is to work them and whip them until they can barely remember their own names. Rather than tell anyone else that one of his slaves stood up to him, he keeps it a secret (and lets Douglass get away with it).

After finding employment as a laborer, Douglass began to attend abolitionist meetings and speak about his experiences in slavery. He soon gained a reputation as an orator, landing a job as an agent for the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society. The job took him on speaking tours across the North and Midwest.

The next morning, Lee attempted to get Brown to surrender, but the latter refused. Ordering the Marines under his command to attack, the military men stormed John Brown’s Fort, taking all of the abolitionist fighters and their captives alive. In the end, John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry ended in failure.

Porchetta is arguably the most widespread street food throughout central Italy; you’ll find white-painted trucks slinging it all throughout Umbria, Tuscany, Lazio, and Abruzzo. To make it, pork that’s been deboned and gutted is then stuffed, seasoned with salt and herbs, and rolled up and slow-cooked on a spit.

Calzones are usually made as a single serving. They’re popular street food in Italy, particularly in Naples where pizza is said to have originated. People fold them into quarters and eat them with their hands while they’re on the go. You don’t need yeast or strong flour to make this short cut calzone.

Piadina [pjaˈdiːna] or Piada [ˈpjaːda] is a thin Italian flatbread, typically prepared in the Romagna historical region (Forlì, Cesena, Ravenna and Rimini). It is usually made with white flour, lard or olive oil, salt and water.
