 **Evaluate the process and outcomes of reconstruction following the Civil War. __Lincoln's View of Reconstruction:__ Lincoln didn't want a north and the south to be divided and mad at each other. He wanted the south to come back to the nation and to be welcome as fast as possible, Abraham lincoln did alot of differnt things in which he made it easier for the south to rejoin the nation. Uylsses S. Grant was a general in the south during the civil war and he fought agaist the north. But Abraham Lincoln promoted him a general for the United States right after the war was over. This helped people in the south who were still sore that the north won. This helped them relize that it was a good thing that Abraham lincoln was the president. So Lincoln's kindness and loyalty helped with reconstructing the United States after the war. If we didn't have Abraham Lincoln then we could have been in deep trouble when the war was over. **

The people who were in this Klan dressed up in white robes and masks to disguse their identities. they would ride horses in the night with their robes and stuff on so the    former slaves would think that the confederate solders have come up from the dead to reclaim their land and all that was theirs.

this is where i got my info on [|Jim Crow Laws]
 * __Jim Crow Laws;__ The term Jim Crow came from an old song that people danced to in 1820. These were laws[[image:rosaparks.jpg align="right"]] that gave the blacks equal rights but really didn't give them the best hand. Because they would be able to go to school but the school they went to was old and not very good and the school the white kids went to were nice and not so old. So the blacks were still being treated unfairlly and not as good as the white people. A example of this was Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks was a lady who was black and all blacks had to sit in the back of the bus. But one day she decided to sit up in the front with the white people and some of the white folk didn't like that very much. And she had to go to jail. But she was a hero to black people around the United states because of her bravery and courge.**
