    After civil war Africans Americans didn't received nothing." A BLEAK FUTURE FOR FREEDMEN " by Samuel Childress think about colored race because we are not acquainted with the whole of it .... we don't see prospect of getting any.

1) What did Americans (Northern and Southern, black and white) think of thegovernment during Reconstruction – military occupation of the South, civil rights laws, and the president’s plans?

          In the article "A BLACK FUTURE FOR FREEDOM " by samuel childress  , 1864                        

   it say how an African American feels about this. also it says how he feels about freedmen  in the   

   south  was gloomy he says "we are not acquainted with the whole of ti...To us the prospect seems 

   gloomy.we see no prospect for permanent homes and we sees no prospect of them getting any."This                   

    shows how he feels about it and this also shows  how childress thought  the future for freedmen in the south was "gloomy". I think that one way that the government of the U.S.A could help freedmen helping  there family and what they need . also the African American say how the Government could help the "we think the government  ought  to help us out,in justice to the race who allowed them to get such great southern farm. we think the government  should enable our people to have a home of their own, on which they might hope to earn a living educate their children". this shows how the government could help them  and i think that the government should help African American.

 

3) For African Americans in the South after the Civil War, what help did they receive? What challenges did they face?

In the article "The Views of a Former Confederate Supporter in 1865"says that ''All good citizens deplore about the assassination of president Lincoln'' so that means that when Lincoln died they could've changed the laws that Lincoln made and sighed . So that made some white and some African Americans feel badly about president Lincoln's dead.

3) For African Americans in the South after the Civil War, what help did they receive? What challenges did they face?

           According to the article,"A Bleak Future For  Freedom", by Samuel Childress 1865;

Samuel and other African Americans had to face their "wicked old" masters to convince

them to give their old slaves taxes.  But that causes the masters to get outraged and that'll create chaos to      both sides.  Samuel explain how "gloomy" the South is going to be in the future when the text 

said, "You desire to know our opinions on the policy of President Andrew Johnson about 

 the colored race.  We see no prospect for permanent homes and we see no prospect of them 

 getting away".  No men were treated equally even if the people were a different

race, in the late 80's was a broken union.

Matt Fiamalua - question 2

Because when white people had problems with black people they say that black people should not be divided because of their skin color and because their also poor. President Lincoln had a comment that he said to the people ''a house divided itself cannot stand '',and that's how the people felt when slaves should be free and live happily but Lincoln emancipated them and the slaves celebrated and start dancing , eating , playing music but it didn't happen because now the slaves became illegal now and now they also weren't property anymore. White people say that they need to offer slaves to fight in the war which they are now part of the union military and that's how white people wanted more troops to fight and that they can win the union war . But many slaves were killed , missing , and were also captured but slaves still try their best fighting and also winning the war in union . Slaves now started to farm in South . But slaves try wanting to own a house and feed their children and keeping them safe and healthy but in the other hand slave parents also trying to educate their kids which they wanted to get their kids to school and learn and attend to a university so they can spend their time studying , reading , and writing by the time they get to school and start learning . But slaves got to school later on and they have to be separate with white people and not interact with them . President Lincoln now decided to emancipate the slaves and let slaves live free and so the union now spread the word to say 'Slaves End ''.

Carlos Hernandez question #1
What did he think the government of the U.S. should do to help the freedman?


In the article "A bleak future for freedman" "you desire to know our opinions on the policy of president Andrew Johnson about the colored race.The government should help by race who allowed them to get such great southern farm.We think the government should enable our people to have a home of their own,on which they might hope to warn a living and educate their children.It is the intention of the government to drive us to our worst enemies to ask for work...?Our race has tilled this land for ages;whatever wealth that has been earned in the south was because of our labor.But what happened to it? It has gone back to the southern hands that are dripping with blood and who have committed some major evil."this supports the idea of how the government should help freedman. According to this article i agree that the government should help the freedman so they have the right to vote and to have a education and to have a job. 

Gabriel Francisco - Question 1

What did Americans (Northern and Southern, black and white) think of the government during Reconstruction – military occupation of the South, civil rights laws, and the president’s plans?

The southern black people felt gloomy about government in  November 29 1865. Because Former slaves saw no prospect for permanent homes. Samuel  Childress said that the  government should help former slaves.Samuel had felt cheated out his property . I Found it  a bleak future for freedom
