THE UNITED STATES TIME.

After four years of constant war,and it has finally ended. Solders regain their homes and find their whole environment very different then the way they had left it. It had been destroyed and metamorphosed. They barely recognized it. Also the life style of the people had changed, children had become orphans, women had become widows, and families were destroyed. For the solders this welcome wasn't a warm welcome. Almost nothing was left, the agriculture fields, the factories and the railroads were demolished. 

The slavery was starting to diminish. About four million freed slaves had decided to start a new life an to working in poor regions with slow economics. The ones who decided to stay slaves had received food, water and shelter even thou they are deficient. However many slaves were neglected and abandoned.  Some of them were freed but decided to work at their previous masters fields. The rest moved to the West to find jobs.

After the death of Abraham Lincoln in 1863 President Andrew Johnson taken over. He used to serve as vice president to Lincoln. His services can not be judged yet since he was elected just a few months ago. 

"1. It pardoned southerns who swore allegiance to the Union.

2. It permitted each state to hold a constitutional conventional (with Lincoln's 10 percent allegiance requirement).

3. State were then to void secession, abolish slavery, and repudiate the Confederation debt. 

4. State could then hold elections and rejoin the union." American Pathway textbook

Johnson's Reconstruction Plan was like Lincoln's. Johnson did not have the 10% law in which 10% of voters in the state swore allegiance to the Union. Also Johnson's plan was a lot more generous to the South. It denied the remission of the legal consequences of an event or conviction to all Confederate leaders.

 

THE WAR F TODAY

Today the was between America and Afghanistan is still going on. It all started in 2001. It has negative effects for both parties. For America, which is a big nation and has a high economic stuatus. The war is costing them many useless expenses. The president of the united states Barack Obama had decided to reduce the troups since he wants to stop this war. Afghanistan that has a low economic status is lossing alot of money. This war distroyed what what has already been built by the Afghans. They have a poor resource of water and of food, and now with this war it is decreasing. There are incoscent people that are dying since this war is basically between the Amercians and the Terrorists,  children and adults are loosing their lives for no reasons. Today the people are fed up with this war so they decided to revolt even though the country is in a lot of trouble.    

Ken Burner

All of the slaves were mistreated. They had too much work and weren’t rewarded for this. They sometimes could buy there liberty or escape but at some point they would be kidnapped again and would be sold again. The slaves in the south were better treated than the ones in the north beause the ones in the north had more work than the ones in the south. This is why the economics of the north were higher than the ones in the south. Slaves used to cost a lot of money that people took care of them so that they would not die easily. One day a slave named Mat Turner had decided to revault with 30 other slaves. They decided to kill other white people. This revolution didn't help them alot. 

North vs. South

 The north part of America has always been superior to the southern part. They had north part had 100,000 factories and South had 20,000. The north had more advanced technology. They had 70% of the roads in the united states. They had a lot of telegrams and they had facility to trade.

The southern part respected the slaves more than the northern part. There was a tension between these two parts. The southern part had a fertile land and crops grew easily.  The tension was growing this is what lead to the civil war.

Important events about Civil War

The Compromise of 1850 and the Figurative Slave Act

During that time there was a hesitation about slavery. People didnt know if they should allow slavery or if it was a free land or should the citizens choose what they wanted. There slaves were very needed in many states such as California since there was gold there. The Slaves had no rights and it made them angry and so they wanted to rebel.

THE KANSAS-NEBRASKA ACT

There was a formation of two clans since the citizens were disagreeing on weather or not there should be slaves. This is important since there was a war between the two clans.

THE ELECTIONS OF 1860 BRINGS ABRAHAM LINCOLN TO THE WHITE HOUSE

Abraham Lincoln was against Slavery. He ran for president twice and won the second time. There was a conflict in the United States because Abraham Lincoln was against slavery so the people that were for slavery rebelled. This is what lead to the civil war.

Solar Power

The King of Morocco has come up with the idea of building very big solar panels in the city's of Ouarzata, Boujdour, and Terfaya. The two main reasons for this project is primarly because Morocco has no natural resources such as petrolium. Second of all the for environment reasons since they are going to save the rejection of 3 million tons of carbon dioxide. This will bring less pollution to Morocco. Also since the only natural resource is the sun so the government wants to use it in an efficient way. This project will cost about nine billion dollars.

Constitution and the bill of rights

The President: For the countries the president is important since they have a democracy contrarly to when they had a king that thought that he had the power given to him by God, and they ad to follow the rules that were imposed and nearly had no rights. They had to follow the ruling and many times it was unfair to the people. The idea of revolting against that was a good idea.

Congress: Congress was important because sometimes the government would think differently than the people but when they did a congress it was what picked the choice of the majority. It is sort of like the parlement today.

The Federal Court: I think that the federal court was important because the people had a chance to be judged and if somebody did something wrong they will be punished and it sort of put order to the popluation. Also it is what set limits since people didn't like being punished. The judges were choosen by the president

Colonists

Colonists were generally under estimated and did every thing they could to be free. They tried to revolt against the laws and it was hard for them in the beginning but after time more and more people started being part of the revolution and this revolution started having more strength. Finally they were listened to.

Vocabulary terms

Natural rights: Philosophers and political scientists call see it more as legal rights (civil rights). This means that every body has the right to pick there religion, beliefs ,and laws. All laws that a human is allowed to have naturally and that nobody is allowed to take away from them.

Social Contract: Social contract is sort of like a demography it is what leads to natural rights, it is what Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean-Jacques Rousseaua came up with.

Right of revolution: The right of revolution is like the right of rebellion, it originated from China. It was used many historical facts like: the War of French religion, Glorious Revolution, and American Revolution.

Popular Sovereignty: It is the other way of saying the sovereignty of the people. It is when the people that rule the country have the control over it.

Self Determination: Self determination is sort of like a democracy. It is when a country chooses how the country is going to be ruled and how they want it to be. 

People that migrate to Morocco.

Generally people that migrate to Morocco are the people that usually like to discover new cultures. Also people that like to hike and go skying since landscapes. there are many beautiful places to visit also many historic cites and many cuisines that are very good. In general morocco is a very beautiful country.

Morrocan Migration.

The reason many Moroccans migrate is that once a student graduated they generally choose to study outside of Morocco to pursue their studies and also to and to bring new things to the country in order to help it develop the country. Also many times people migrate for economic reasons, since they don't find find a job and they don't have any education but in foreign countries they need the skills that these people have so they go there and sere them.

Colonization in Morocco

With my parent I have disscused how Morocco would have been if it was colonized. We have come up that Morocco will loose from its pride and a different culture will be imposed to morocco. Also depending on which country will be colonizing it it might improve a little bit on certain factors.

American History.

After I checked the twi websites i concluded that the second website was the most clear to me. it said how the present and the future are important but the past is also very important since it is the only period that can be studied. Also history must always be justified. Also historians keep thing natural and they do not change them at any point and they just study them very closely and they try to come up with the most precise solution and then they find justification to it until they are a hundred percent sure of their answer.

21 Century

I discussed with my parents about skills that are essential to the workers in the 21 Century and they said that transportation is very important like buses taxis cars, since some times people don't make enough to live in the city so they have to live a little bit farther than the city where they live, in order to reach their jobs they need to take buses. Also all communication devices are important such as mobiles, phones, email. When you have a mobile and you have an appointment with somebody and you can't make it there you just reach them anywhere they are to cancel. And for many other reasons. These two skills are the most important skills people need in the 21 century
