Today we made Magazine covers of what a magazine would look like in late 1800's. Since we had just done a worksheet on the 14th amendment, our "Breaking News" was that the 14th amendment was passed, letting African-Americans have their right to get education, marry, start businesses, own land, etc. by being citizens of the U.S.A.

Today we did worksheets on Ulysses Grant and Charles Sumner. Charles Sumners thoughts on racial equality were a lot farther then those of Abraham Lincoln- he wanted African-Americans to not only have political equality but also social equality. Although his thoughts sounded great he was very bias, only wanted our government to be Republican. We also learned about how Abraham won his election against George McCallen.

Today I had to take a quiz since I was out the day of it. Then when we got to class we got our study guides for midterms... Woo👎

A new year, and yet just another day of history class. Today we looked at a bronze carving of the Union going into war. They were able to have African-Americans help them fight because of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. Then we took notes on something.. I'm not quite sure what because I was trying to prove to Mr.Boyle that I could multi task; take notes and talk about something else at the same time. Although I proved him wrong, I think I should probably go over my notes...
