Some Loose Ends


Today I gave make up exams for those who missed the test on Friday. Grades for the Exam and Grades for the mid-marking period will be calculated and given tomorrow.

We needed to examine in greater detail the idea of Sharecropping and how in many ways it became the replacement economic system for slavery.

I also wanted the students to know about the evolution of the Ku Klux Klan after reconstruction. We looked at the rise in the 1920's, the clan vs civil rights, and the modern day KKK.
