New Laptops

I like the laptops.  I think it's going to make it a lot easier to get homework done, and more educational opportunities.  They are kind of destracting, however.  I think they just need some getting used to:)

Help Wanted: Miners

We're looking for men who are interested in mining.  They need to be social, able to work with others, and able to move where mining is needed.  Men can bring married women and children to live in boom towns with them (towns that grow when a mine is discovered), or boarding houses you have the option to rent out for a week at a time.  Needs to have some type of mining experience and a letter of recommendation.  Will be paid $19.50 an hour. If interested, call 1-800-MINING1

The Civil Rights Act: 1867

Breaking News:  The Civil rights act has now made it so that African Americans can own property, bring lawsuits, and marry legally. The Congress created the 14th amendment and it's going to gave citizenship to African Americans. The Freedmens Bureau is going to start in 1865 as a temporary agency. It's going to help enslave people and white southerners, and establish hospitals.
It will hopefully be extended a year after that to help people find jobs, go to school, and to help protect the civil rights of African Americans.  There will be an election in 1868.  Hopefully, the winner of the election will help change the south. We want to discover new things, we want our towns and cities to grow, and we want all of the children to be able to go to school.
Once we get all of that squared away, we will be able to create the 15th amendment. Right now we're thinking about taking the 14th amendment to the next level by letting African Americans vote. Hopefully we won't run into any problems such as gangs and violence.  Our main goals are to explain the problems of reconstruction, explain the three new amendments, and explain the changes in the north and the south after the civil war.
