Reconstruction: 1865-1877

4/3/2017

The Reconstruction [Chapter 16] is one of the most important topics that we study in this course. We are coming down to the last few weeks of the school year and this Friday we will begin our last few interactive notebooks. The Block schedule for SBAC testing will be long and filled with many subjects so please get your 8 hours of sleep. This is no different than what I have said since the first day of class. Sleep means brain repair and that means a fully functional brain. A sleep deprived brain will not process the information as well as rested brain on a sleep schedule getting 8-10hours, seven days a week is best.

I will add topics for the pages to the last notebooks from here. We still might have 2-3 more interactive personal notebooks. I will add them in the comments section of this page. Any pages outside the chapter 16 I add to the comment section add to your notebook. Please also take notes on the reconstruction video below before you come to class on Wednesday for the Wayback [students missing Wednesday start early you still need to add the Wayback]. Make comments to get help from classmates. The wayback will be two cartoons in the power point that answer the central historical question. Try to remember and think about what we talked about all year even some modern connections.

Please use these buttons when you want to understand more or if I assign as homework.

If you click on "Mr. C" on the first link, it will take you to the PDF assignment with the terms. Doing four of the words per night will make it so you are done well before it is due.

This is very important idea to understand the struggle for civil rights:
The withdrawal of the troops symbolized the end of Reconstruction, but an earlier Supreme Court case had made clear that the legal system would resist a broad reading of the Fourteenth Amendment. In the slaughterhouse cases, 83 U.S. 36, 21 L.Ed. 394 (1873), the Supreme Court read the amendment's privileges and immunities clause virtually out of the Constitution. The Court effectively closed the door on the concept of privileges and immunities as an enforcement tool against state laws that restricted individual civil rights. On a 5–4 vote, the Court interpreted the clause as protecting only rights of national citizenship from the actions of the state government. This restrictive reading robbed the Privileges and Immunities Clause of any constitutional significance.

Everyone of us is living history. We all have a story to tell and the ancestors that came before us that carved a way for us to become a new member of civilization. We also are learning that we are all related genetically and culturally in the family of humanity. All people’s past becomes part of all of us, and will always be completely intertwined with the entire world community.

Author's NOTE

From time to time we will have some ideas from words that give us wisdom about our world. Writers are some of the most insightful people that understand our modern and ancient world quite well. Feel free to read, think, comment on these ideas. It seems that some of the students would like to debate issues of government, economics, and history. This can be a forum for this idea. Also if you would like to do formal debates in class we need to prepare debate rule and procedures. This can be a start and then we can decide if we will proceed to bring the debates in class on topics we study. Please follow our classroom rules if you decided to write on the blog. Make sure that you ask questions, and be helpful, and mature in all your interactions. This can be a helpful way for you to share what you have learned and what you want to learn, or just share ideas. Also just submit an idea through an email, or web contact, and we can maybe add the idea. Send a picture with the suggestion for the classes. Thank you.

Class Forum

Students can also decide to add a topic that can be approved and monitored by Mr.C. Please be responsible and follow the social contract. You can share ideas and questions on your now topics about our class. Friends can help each other study with their devices. Please only students, but fell free to share the forum communications with your family. This can be a source for all students.
