Hello I am Fredrick and this is my friend John! We're here to talk to you about U.S. History!
The Civil War has ended and there are still many problems to be solved. This set the U.S. into a period called the Reconstruction Era.
The new President Johnson has put in motion his plan for reconstruction. This means slavery is abolished and the 13th amendment has been passed.
The 13th amendment states that former slaves are now free! There is no more slavery in the United States.
But the United States has not passed the 14th and 15th amendments yet.
They haven't passed the amendments because the South has come out with the Black Codes.
The Black Codes created a system in which African Americans were able to be bound to white plantation owners and be forced to work without pay.
Northerners consider the Black Codes to be slavery under a new name. Managing this is making the ratification process slow down dramatically.
The 14th amendment would give all African Americans citizenship and create equality amongst everyone.
And the 15th amendment would allow all African American males to vote!
But some people don't like the idea of African Americans getting the right to vote before women could.
We can't wait for these new amendments to be ratified!
