If anyone wants to do this then go ahead. I would appreciate it. If not, well, i dont blame you. p. s. doesn't have to be good at all.

Write a paragraph explaining what you feel is going to happen to you now
that the 13 th Amendment has ended slavery (1865). What are you going to do? Then
project ten years into the future (1875). Write a second paragraph that tells how
Reconstruction is either meeting your expectations or is a disappointment to you. Write a final paragraph to conclude your opinion of Reconstruction. Do you feel like you are
better off now as opposed to the days before when you were a slave?
Each of the three paragraphs should include at least one historically accurate
event as evidence in support of your opinions

Sorry for the lack of apostrophes, my keyboard is broken.

There are better days ahead of me, Im sure of it! Ive got to stay positive. My papa who lost his life fighting in the Civil War said I should never ever loose hope no matter how bad it gets. Im starting to loose faith in his words, though. There are still so many people out there mistreating blacks like its their buissness. That scares me, it truly does. Obviously I wish everything will turn out alright, and I must admit I had a strong belief that everything would change after the Civil War... but I must accept the truth. The disgusting people of America shall only see this as one less way to abuse me, my family, anyone who looks like me, really. Every day I wake up afraid of what torment I might face. It doesnt help that I live in a southern state, either. Black codes and those Pig Laws all over the place. Chasing me. Haunting me. But I must not loose hope; it would be a disgrace to my papa. Everything will be okay... right?

Reconstruction has been going on for 11 years now. Every year I grow more weary. I was promised Id be a free man after the war, and yet day after day I continuously loose more rights. I cant vote. I ant live or travel where I want to without being controlled. Worst of all, they took my first son. They took him right in front of my eyes and said it was for labour purposes. I am incredibly dissapointed with the results of what this country has turned into. This isnt freedom! This isnt unity!
