In class we are learning about the civil war and south africa. We are learning about the reconstruction plans for the Confederacy and South africa. Both of them are different in their own way but still the same in others. also we are discussing the rights of the people during the reconstruction of both. Some people who didn't have rights had rights when people who had rights didn't after the war.

Today in our society we went to war not to long ago. We went to war with Iraq for certain reasons to keep our country safe from terrorists. After the U.S went to war with iraq we began to rebuild it. Just as the U.S did during the civil war we reconstructed enemy territory while so many people in that country hate the U.S. We may be taking it easy on the people that destroyed the twin towers just as we let the Confederate people join the union again by pardoning them of everything they had done.

During the reconstruction period blacks gained the right to vote but white confederates didn't. Now people in the U.S who are citizens can vote, as long as they are not convicts. All people in the convicts have to committ a felony to not be allowed to vote. Before the war only white men were allowed to vote. After the war all men were allowed to vote except for the white confederates.

Until the 19th amendment women could not vote. Since then women have gained the right to vote and now all citizens of the U.S except people who have committed a felony can. When this happened women now started serving on juries because it was there duty. (haha I said duty) Women play a big part in society now, they have jobs that hold a great signifigance. they have power to do what they want now.

the people in the south are racist due to the slavery. whites and blacks were segregated for the next few years. now people are still racist but they dont show it as much. blacks and whites have integrated and alot are friends. When they go to school they play on sports teams, join clubs and work as a group to do the best they can.
