On Friday in history we learned about/ took notes on the assassination of Lincoln and how his death changed the course of reconstruction. Lincoln had been the the only really influential voice arguing for restoration and when Booth killed him, the radical Republicans were left to take over and punish the South through reconstruction. After taking notes, we listened to two classical songs related to the topic.
Today in history we went to the library and worked on a couple of worksheets about reconstruction in the South and how they were devastated by Sherman. Also about the Black Codes.
