HOW FREEDMEN WERE TREATED IN THE SOUTH

IF I WAS IN CONTROL OF WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THE WAR I WOULD...
...HAVE MADE IT SO THAT IF YOU MISTREATED A FREEDMAN YOU...
...WOULD BE FINED AND YOU WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE PERSON...
...ANYWHERE BETWEEN $100-$1000 DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU DID

POPULATION

I would make it so that every freed slave would...
...count as one person for the population and not like the...
...three fifths compromise

THE SOUTH

Like the freedmen, i would make sure that the South was...
...properly, i would fine people (Northerners) that harassed Southereners...
... And i would make sure that the South got the same freedoms as the North

RECONSTRUCTION

When it came to reconstructing the South, i would help...
...i would see it as they brought the damage to themselves, but...
...we (North) were the ones that caused them to and the ones that did it...
...so i would help with about 80-85% of the reconstruction in the South...
...as long as the Fredmen were treated properly

PLAN WITH THE SOUTH

Like the previous slide said, as long as the South...
...properly treated freedmen, they would be taken care of...
...instead of an oath or anything like what was actually done, i would...
...base it off their individual actions and punish those who misstreated...
...the freedmen

THE SOUTHS OVERALL PUNISHMENTS

I would not want to 'punish' the South so what i...
...would do is make it so that after 1 year of reconstruction...
...any northerner helping work in the south would be housed and fed by the...
...southerner being helped by said person, this would end after 6 years...
...of the reconstruction unless there was another year or more of the build
