Political and Social Renegotiation

(you will draw a political cartoon as your graphic. I will explain this later)

Bell work:

Pretend you are a parent whose child has run away. How do you react? Do you

punish your child for rebelling, or do you welcome your child back without

punishment because you are glad he/she is back? Answer in paragraph

form.

Group Activity

• Each group member must record their answers on the paper provided.

• How should the United States treat the south following the Civil War? Do we punish them like the child that ran away, or welcome them back into the family?

• Answer the following 3 questions in your spirals:– What should be done with southerners who

rebelled?– What should southern states be required to do to be

re-admitted back into the Union?– What should be done for the newly freed blacks?

Questions we will answer…

• Did the reconstruction of the South achieve Abraham Lincoln’s ideal of a “just and lasting peace” based upon inclusion and equality for all?

• Did Reconstruction successfully renegotiate African American’s political and social relationship with white society?

• Are African Americans passive victims of political and social inequality?
