Attention everyone... I think by when Carlisle said to come and comment about the links, he meant to have a little bit of substance at least... I mean, these websites are telling you the horrible things that happened in your country's history and you come on here and say "that's nice". The guy in that picture, he was starved for months. How does that not all but hit you in the face and make you realize how great we have things these days? I'm really not trying to start any big arguments or whatever, but seriously, it's depressing how bland our society is these days...

Good morning Carlisle. I got 2 and a half hours of sleep last night. I'm going to be pretty tired in class. Just thought I'd give you a heads up...

wow, i guess before, i kind of assumed that after the civil war was over, everything fell into place and all perfect and peaceful. i never considered how big of an ordeal it is to suddenly make whites treat the people they had enslaved for so many years equally. in middle school, we only got that the south said sorry, abolished slavery, joined the union, and life was back to normal. i find it a little frustrating that they teach us all of this stuff in middle school, but kind of twist the words so that is sounds "nicer". so by the time we get to high school we have a skewed perception of many aspects of US history (like that the Emancipation Proclamation freed all slaves), and we have to relearn everything. why don't they just teach all of this stuff the first time, i think most of us could have handled it in middle school.

alright the black people are now free... now get them out into the fields and working for us! to me it almost makes the war pointless

Man, why do they always have to keep African Americans down, sharecropping doesn't seem like much difference than slavery.

Saraga, Chuck, and Kalei,
You all make some really good points in regards to the realities of Reconstruction. Kalei you are right, sharecropping is merely a replacement of slavery. African Americans have a long road of them as we move beyond Reconstruction.
