Class Update: 1-24-13 and 1-25-13

Yesterday in class we talked about the difference between between Reconstruction and Restoration. The Radical Republicans believed in Reconstruction, based meaning that they wanted everything about the South changed. Today we talked about the assassination of President Lincoln. The whole thing seems almost like a movie plot- from the fact that the assassin was a well known actor to the fact that he was shot right as the crowd was roaring with laughter.
