Some of the feelings James Forten mostly had were sadness because they went to fight and had no other chose to surrender and he probably had the feeling of shame because he and the other sailors that were on the ship had to be put in the prison down below their top deck. Here’s a quote from the reading selection “The hold of the ship was dark. What little light there was coming from the small squares along the hull.
James Forten was actually sad because he was watching slaves on there knees. When they were at the ceremony. Heres a "quote" from the story James Forten was not a hero. He did not single-handedly defeat the British, or sink a ship."
James Forton was sad because maybe if he wouldn't of played marbels he could end up being a slave. Here's a "quote" 326 is how if he would of ended up as a slave he wouldn't of ended up so weathly.
I think the some of the feelings James Forten were sadness because he had To fight in the army and surrendered to another ship. I also think that he was Ashamed because he had to be put below deck on the Jersey. Here’s a quote From the story “the hold of the ship was dark, the was little light from below Deck and the only light they had were the little square windows
James Forten felt sad that his ship had surrendered to the British because he did not want to become a prisoner of war. Here’s a quote from page 322 “The Royal Louis lowered its flag. It had surrendered, and its crew was now prisoners. Forten was terrified. He had heard the stories of the British sending captured Africans to the West Indies to be sold into slavery. He knew the Pomona had sailed back and forth from the colonies to the island of Barbados, where many Africans already languished in Bondage.”
The felling James Forten had was sadness because the ship had to surrender but the other ones were happy. Also became wealthy so I think he got happy.heres a qoute from the story "the hold of the ship was dark."
James Forten had mixed feelings because he was sad and happy, he was sad because so many of his mates were wounded and some mortally wounded. He was happy because the British surrendered and James’s side won. Here is two quotes from the story to support my comment “The Active lowered its flag. It had surrendered!” “On board the victorious ship James Forten had mixed feelings as he saw so many of his comrades wounded, and some mortally wounded.”.
Well Mr.Forten felt sad because many of his shipmates died in the battle. James Forten felt happy because they won the battle. Here’s a quote from the story, “After what must have seemed forever with the two ships tacking about each other like angry cats, the Active lowered its flag.”

I think he cared about victory because if he got let free he could get rich and that’s what he did and his feelings where probley worried scarred if he was going to have to be a slave. Quote” he knew about the difficulties between the British and the American colonists.
I think that he felt bad that he killed some one even thought they where bad they were still people. I think he also mist his mom. Quote from page 320,’’In the summer of 1781, James Forten sighed onto the privateer Royal Louis, commanded by Stephen Decatur, Sr.
James Forten had mixed feelings after the Active surrendered because he saw wounded and dead people on the ship."On board the victorious ship James Forten had mixed feelings as he saw so many of his comrades wounded, some mortally.
James Forten felt sad and happy. He was sad because he would probably have to become a slave or go to Jersey. He was happy because he forsed the British to surrender. A quote from page 322 is "It was soon clear that the Royal Louis had two choices: to surrender or to be sunken."
Ithik his feelings after the British ship surrendered was I think he was very happy relaxed that he didn't have to go back to battle again intil for a long time. Heres a Quote "WHEN HE LOST A BATTLE AND THEN HE FELT WHAT THE BRITISH WAS FEELING".
I think James's mixed feelings were he was happy because he was very exicted with the victory over the very heavily armed, Active, which was very suprising to some of the crew members of the Royal Louis. Also James was sad because he was the one person bringing up gun powder which helped kill alot of British men on the ship Active. Here's a quote from the story."Dowm, Rebels, down!" "They were rebels against the king, to be despised, perhaps to be hanged."
When the British ship Active surrendered I think he was feeling happy, excited, and proud because they had won the fearful fight, but nervous for the next fight. A quote from the story to support my answer is, “Once the fear of the battle had subsided and the wounded were taken off, it was easy to think about the dangerous encounter in terms of adventure. And they had won.” That supports my answer because its showing that even though it was a fearful fight they just kept trying and won.

James Forten felt this way because he knew in his heart that war is wrong. He was excited about the win but sad about seeing all of his comrades seriously injured and hurt. Even though he won the battle he still felt sad. This shows that James Forten had been a man that cared about other people, not just himself and winning. Here is a quote from the story from page 320, "On board the victorious ship James Forten had mixed feelings as he saw so many of his comrades wounded, some mortally."
Some of the emotions that James Forten had was happy, feeling acomplished, and pleasant. James proboly felt these emotions because, the Britsh surrendered, the Americans were able to take the crew, and maybe the ship, if it wasn't damaged. here is a quote from page 320, " After what have seemed forever the two ships tacking about each othyer like angry cats, the Active has loered its flag".
I think he felt proud and sad at the same time because his comrades had mortal wounds and were going to die either way. thats the sad part. the proud part is that the other ship surrendured. heres a quote,"James Forten had mixed feelings as he saw so many of his comrades wounded,some mortally."
James Forten felt happy, sad, and excited at the same time. He felt like that because he was sad of all his hurt comrades, happy because he survived, and excited that he had won his first(and last)victory. He also probaly had many more emotions rushing trough his blood but he did not reveal them.Here's an example to show his feelings from page 320," Again he went below decks, knowing if a shot ripped through to the powder kegs, or if any burning planks fell down into the hold, he would be killed instantly in the explosion." That showed fear but dependence in his emotions.
The reason that James had mixed feelings was he was afraid of getting shot but when he captured a british ship he felt grand. Here is a quote from the story to support my answer “we had captured a ship”, shouted the captain
one of the fellings jhon forton was sad because he had no chose but to surrender and when they captured him he was scared that he would be sent to slavery when he was sent to slavery he worked for a long time then when gorge washington became presadent he stopted most of the slavery and Jhon forton was free.
i think that his fellings are that when he won he felt good and when he lost an surrendered an got kept captive he felt bad 'qoute'the royol louis's guns were loaded whith gun powder that was tamped down by the gunner.
James Forten mixed his feeling because they were all cheering for winning the war. Here’s a quote from the story. “he felt bad for the wounded but was glad for winning the battle.”
When James Forton heard that the americans won the battle he was probly overjoyed. But also he must have been sad because he probly had become great friends with his crew and some of them had died.
After the british ship active surrendured James had mixed feelings because well maybe he was Happy he had lived but sad that he didnt have a more important role then brining gun powder from below the decks. here is a quote from the story to maybe support my answer "Fortons job was to carry gun powder up fom below the guns. Up and down he raced with the powder as shots from the british ship whistled overhead. There were large holes in the sails and mn screaming as they were hit by grapeshot that splintered the sides of the ship. The smell of gunpowder filled the air as captin decour turned his ship to he the brodside guns trained on the active. Sailors all about forton were falling, Some dying even as others cried for more3 powder. Again he went below decks, Knowing that if a shot ripped through the powder kegs or if any burning planks fell down in the hold he woul be killed instantly in the explosion. Up he came Again with more powder." So i think he thought that his job was kind of repetitive like he was just going up and down and up and down to get powder. I mean sure it was important but...
I think Jamea was very excited about the victory, but he was also very sad about his dead comrades that he fought with. Here is a quote from the story. "The missing crew members were replaced and the ship was checked carfully."
James's mixed feelings were sadness because a lot of them had died and were injured and a little guilty because he wasn't. He probably also was thankful and happy be because he wasn't injured. here is a quote from page 320, "On board the victorious ship James Forten had mixed feelings as he saw so many of his comrades wounded, some mortally."
James Forten felt scared and happy. He was scared becuase he might've been killed. Forten was also happy becuase he was a Sailor and he didn't die. "Again he went below decks, knowing that if a shot ripped through to the powder kegs, or if any of the burning planks fell down into the hold, he would be killed instantly in the explosion".
James Forten had mixed feelings after the rebels captured the British ship active surrendered because many people died in the battle and the British survivors were captives. Here is an example to support my answer Sailors all about Forten were falling, some dying even as others cried for more powder.

After the British ship surrendered, James was probably relieved,and quite happy, but maybe feeling sad about having to leave his friends some horribly hurt and some dying. Being on a ship for that long together, you would probably become friends for company even if you were risking your liife doing it. A quote from page 320 is, "On board the victorious ship James Forten had mixed feelings as he saw so many of his comrades wounded, some mortally."
Hmm is anyone else having problems with the images on this blog loading? I'm trying to find out if its a problem on my end or if it's the blog. Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

After the British ship surrendered, James was probably relieved,and quite happy, but maybe feeling sad about having to leave his friends some horribly hurt and some dying. Being on a ship for that long together, you would probably become friends for company even if you were risking your liife doing it. A quote from page 320 is, "On board the victorious ship James Forten had mixed feelings as he saw so many of his comrades wounded, some mortally."
