day 2 post

Yesterday we took notes in class about President Lincoln's Assassination. Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth on April 14th, 1865. In the end Booth was trying to help the south but he ended up hurting them, because they were punish by the north who wanted more revenge on the south. If I was a Southerner I would be mad at him because now we had more restrictions and a harder price to pay. Today in class we went to the computer lab and looked at pictures of the south after the war was over. There were lots of buildings that were demolished and destroyed land. What I realized was that the south not only had things worst then the North but had resentment towards the African Americans, and just because they were free didn't mean that they were protected from unhappy people who wanted them gone. In the end nothing was turning out in anyone's favor because there was still unhappy people and people who didn't want change.
