Lastname, Firstname. Title of Book. City of Publication: Publisher, Year of Publication. Medium of Publication
 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?

 In the article ''Our Country Is Now Disturbed Condition'' one of the black slaves was talking about how president was a really good person. Lots of them got help from the military but there were a lot of civil laws that were happening after the war. The president plans were to stop slavery one quote was "if we could have a system of gradual emancipation our people would rejoice and be glad to get rid of slavery''. Some men were even tired from the war.  All those law helped the people in the war and after.
