The emphasizes on land because he wants to get his point across that he wants the land he should be getting but he's not getting the land that he is supposed to get.Something else that can contribute to building independent and self sufficient lives is find another way to get land and grow foods from the land.

Quote: "The truth is that the country does not know what to do with its black population now that the blacks are no longer a source of wealth, are no longer to be bought and sold and bred, like cattle; and they especially do not know what to do with young black men, who pose as devastating a threat to the economy... It is not at all accidental that the jails and the army and the needle claim so many..." - James Baldwin What is Baldwin saying here - connect to one idea from documents 1a,1b 1c or #2 to support this

One thing that stood out to me in these documents was how much these freedman got paid. They use to get it 30 cents a day which is astonishing. That's a little bit of money to give a person who's doing a lot for you. Another thing that also stood out was if a white person were to give a black person any weapon or equipment that white person has to be punished. Whether it's money they pay or jail time.

Document 2 is interesting to me because we have more info on what happened after African Americans were freed. We know what kind of land they received, and what actions they made to be able to help those on starting a new life.

In reading does documents, one thing that stands out to me is that after the Civil War, African Americans were treated unjustly and unfairly, and that African American social and economic status have not maked a really good progress, since the Black Codes were there. For examples, in excerpts number 1b and 1c is telling us that African Americans were treated unjustly and that White Americans couldn't help Africans Americans economically, or give them any other help, making the African American Status staying Mediocre.

Document 1a interest me because it seems contradictory. How is a newly freed slave supposed to be able to purchase 40 acres of land within 3 years?!

I think the racial wealth gap would be different if the special order #15 happened because this would give a boost to the blacks because they had nothing because they were slaves. iknow people would say that it wasn't enough but at least they could start from somewhere.

One thing that stood out to me in these documents was about the land up to 40 acres that congress was giving to black people. I considered a great opportunity to those that had the money to buy the land after 3 years but also I think that not much black people could purchase it with low wages.

the document that stood out the most to me was 1b, because it was interesting that black people couldnt be sold liquor and firearms from a white person.

Document 2 interest me because James Baldwin doesn’t pull any punches. He discusses how America doesn’t know what to do with black people now that they can’t be exploited legally. So they find ways to suppress the black population, in particular young black men get the worst of it. That reminds me of document 1c because the black man in that is being exploited and is essentially still a slave.

I believe that the racial wealth gap would be as strong as it became if the special order had happened.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe it would’ve made a change because it would’ve meant more black families had generational wealth. but, this wouldn’t have been that big of a change, because it wouldn’t have healed the scars the black population still has.

they wanted there own land to feel like they were free and no one was controlling them. them contributing into building their independent makes them be on there own.

# data[].attributes.body
There’s this emphasis on land because that’s what wealth mostly meant back in the day. if you owned land you could profit off it.

Yes, if the special order number 15 (40 acres) happened and Andrew Johnson wouldn't denied, the racial wealth gap would be different because the special order number 15 would've give African Americans better opportunities and access in United States, it would give the African Americans an opportunity to grow economically and socially, by producing crops, building houses and make a profit out of it. The army even gave them mules to help the African Americans!

# data[].attributes.body
I think the racial wealth gap would be a little small if the special order had done happen because no all black people could be eligible to get land up to 40 acres because of the low wages,  according to document #2 The bureau’s charge was to lease up to forty acres of abandoned and to people who would have the option to buy that land after three years.

One thing that stood out to me is that the blacks were given land but whites are forbidden from giving them any weapons or alcohol. Makes no sense.

I think there is this empathize on land because you can do all things with it, in terms of independence with the land they have the opportunity to have their own home and farming  food.  I think this becomes them  self-sufficient . I think something that could contribute to building independent, self-sufficient lives, is that had  not  more racism.

The connection I can make with James Baldwin quote and the article number 1c is because the article #1c talks about how the Black people were treated after the civil war, that Black people were subjugated by giving them forced labor and paying them the minimum wage treating them like slaves once again, even though they had freedom already (they were freedmen's). And James Baldwin article is talking about that the government (country) is also subjugating African Americans by arresting them unfairly because the economy of the south is declining because it depended on slaves, now that there's no slave, the economy of the confederates is declining. This article are connected because they are talking about the subjugation Africans Americans are receiving because they are free.

Garrison Frazier is emphasising the land because freedmans were needy (poor) and they need it to make a living now that they were independent, they need it something to grow there economic, and start a new life. Something else that would contribute the independent, self-sufficient lives is if Americans stop the forced labor and the minimum wage, because Whites Americans by doing this to African Americans were oppressing African Americans, and in certain way not letting them be free.

I think the racial gap wealth would be shorter because the freedman that got this land wouldn’t be able to get it because of their low wages. They got about 30 cents as their original wage

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that stands out to me after reading these documents is that Blacks had to suffer a lot. They had to work barefooted just for 30 cents a day. Also that Whites would get a better life than the Blacks

# data[].attributes.body
The racial gap wealth gap would of been different and less shorter because no man was getting paid good. So this means that no freedman could've afford no land

They wasn't wealthy enough

# data[].attributes.body
This  means that Whites wanted their own land they wanted to feel that they were wealthy people without anyone ruling them.
