Today in History Class

Today in history class, we went over the condition of the south post-civil war era. First, we looked at statistics that gave us an accurate view of the destruction caused by Sherman and other Union forces in the South.
From here, we did a worksheet where we thought about how the southerners felt after the destruction of the south.

Finally, we looked at the Black Codes, a group of rules devised by a town in Louisiana, which told us how the southerners treated the newly freed slaves and basically re-created slavery without using the term slavery.
