Reconstruction, Day 2

WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE HOMEWORK LATER IN CLASS. Today we you will work together to answer some of the difficult questions that newly freed slaves had to grapple with in the aftermath of the Civil War and the end of slavery.

1) What do you think will happen to people recently freed from slavery?

  • Read “Freedmen and Women”
  • Create an identity for yourself as a former slave and write an internal monologue about your experiences and hopes for the future. Some things to think about:
    • What hardships have you endured? What heartbreak have you experienced? What have your relationships been like (with whites and slaves)? What are your dreams for the future?
    • You have 10 minutes.

2. Reconstructing the South: Problems

  • As a class, you will discuss, debate and answer the 6 questions on the following pages. You will decide how you do that, but everyone must participate. The process and your participation in it are what you will be graded on today.

3. With the time remaining, make sure you have all of the information from the homework reading from last night.

Homework: None
