Today we listened to everyone talk about their free blog. We also covered more of the civil war. Civil war happened 1861-1865. As soon as Lincoln became president the south seceeded. The north had all of the advantages pretty much. More factories, more money, more railroads, and more farms. The war started because the North wanted to keep the states united. But then during the war it mainly came down to slavery. 1865-1877 was the reconstruction era. The North was basically trying to get the south to come back. The south had to be rebuilt physically, politcaly, and socialy. The freemans bureau was created, designed to help African Americans to be educated and brought into the modern day. In 1876 Haze became president only because he promised to end reconstruction. Segregation started happening in the South. Everything went bad again in the South.
