Yesterday we learned about the 14th amendment and what it did. Then we created magazines mine was named Citizens R' Us and it talked about how African Americans started to buy houses, and open businesses. Today we learned about the Three different plans there were to deal with the south after the Civil War. My plan was sort of Lincoln's plan except to every year to give African Americans more and more rights until they were equal to whites. Also make every African American the ability to vote.

Last class we learned about Abraham Lincoln's assassination. How booth executed his plot of killing Abe. Today we did a worksheet on the south and how they were after the Civil War. I saw how they were still racist toward blacks and how they made laws to descriminate them. Also how there were hate groups being created in the south like the KKK who were being more violent and worse to the blacks than slavery.

I think I am most like the character Tigger. I am always energetic and am always up for an adventure. You are Winnie the Pooh. Oh, bother. You are sweet, simple, and popular for your honesty and goodwill. Though you may be the biggest personality in the woods, you sometimes need the help of others in the brains department! 
I think this happened because the questions that were asked and the answers given were different to what I would actually answer. Also the Questions could have been different.

Today we took our Gettysburg address. Then we took notes in Shermin and his army destroying cities in Georgia and South Carolina. Then we watched a video about it. Last class I wrote a journal entry as I was a citizen of Georgia. I wrote as I was there and explained what I saw and how I was feeling.

Yesterday we talked about the emancipation proclamation and wether it was something to go see on the 150th anniversary. Then if Lincoln changed what he was fighting the civil war for. Today we took notes on the 54th Massachusetts regiment, which was the first all African-American group. We looked at art that was created to honor Gould the leader of the regiment. Also we watched a movie about the regiment and their attack on a confederate fort.
