These previously know slaves are and have been in dire need of help in the forms of money, food, and supplies. The congress has just passed a bill known as The Freedmen's Bureau, which will help in the support of these poorly treated citizens"]]> 2016-08-31 19:30:29 UTC https://padlet.com/205438/c26jywpts4l6/wish/120943390 205438 https://padlet.com/205438/c26jywpts4l6/wish/120946348 The Military Reconstruction act divided the south up into five districts, each having it's own general. It was created to make sure that the laws were being enforced and so they put a general in each district along with many soldiers. Basically, southerners hated it  because it gave African Americans too much power although it did gather support for the KKK.]]> 2016-08-31 19:45:59 UTC https://padlet.com/205438/c26jywpts4l6/wish/120946348 205438 https://padlet.com/205438/c26jywpts4l6/wish/121496619 These are African American senators and representatives, the first of their kind in the U.S. After military reconstruction ends, and troops are pulled out of the south, there won't be another African-American in congress for another hundred years.

The freedmen's bureau has tried to help and I am grateful for that but they haven't helped enough.I've had to start sharecropping with my previous owner to live. It's not a great life but at least my family and are surviving. ]]> 2016-09-04 19:24:00 UTC https://padlet.com/205438/c26jywpts4l6/wish/121498856 205438 https://padlet.com/205438/c26jywpts4l6/wish/121504210 "The Election has been decided!" 
In order to resolve the heavy disputed election, southern state leaders have proposed a compromise which states that Hayes may be able to become president if the united states army is taken out of the south. The northerners have agreed to their demands and now looks as if Hayes is our new president.]]> 2016-09-04 21:45:37 UTC https://padlet.com/205438/c26jywpts4l6/wish/121504210 205438 https://padlet.com/205438/c26jywpts4l6/wish/121505594 -1863:Emancipation Proclamation is signed

In the eyes of lincoln and johnson, it was a success although they believed that readmitting the states was all that they were going to have to do, which they did but the rest of congress believed that there was much more that needed to happen such as reducing debt and helping African Americans and poor white citizens in the south. 

To do this, congress created the freedmen's bureau which was something that provided poor citizens with food, money, and basically the essentials to survive except it wasn't enough to survive off of and so poor people had to sharecrop with rich white people and were basically treated like slaves for another 75 years, so no it was not successful.]]> 2016-09-04 22:16:07 UTC https://padlet.com/205438/c26jywpts4l6/wish/121505681
