I would like you to do 3 things:
1. Use the Oshinsky chapter and the piece on “Red Handed Murder” to list 2 ways that black people were kept in slave-like conditions and denied economic and social justice.
(You could think about violence, police practices, etc. explain how each of your choices ensured that blacks would not prosper.)
2. Tell me why President Johnson didn’t allow the “40 Acres and a Mule” policy to happen. Do not explain what 40 acres was, just focus on why Johnson didn’t allow it to happen.
3. Finally, briefly briefly note what each of the Reconstruction amendments were designed to do.
This should be one to one and a half pages in length, double spaced. Please type your name at the top of the paper, hit the “enter” or “return” button one time, then begin the paper. NO DATES, MY NAME, EMPTY SPACES ETC. AT THE TOP. This is an easy way to see who is willing to follow directions.
