SCENARIO 2: What if a student in class has repeatedly been cheating off you, taking things from you and not giving them back unless you tell your teacher, and just being a jerk! Finally, the teacher writes them up and the troublemaker is sent to the Dean. Do you think the Dean should be lenient by telling them not to do it again and send them back to class- but the student has documentation in their file that they were being a troublemaker- or would you want the Dean to be strict by having them serve 1 day in or out of school suspension? Why do you feel the way you feel regarding this scenario?

Write your responses in your INB. After designated time, share with table group, then with the class.

to a White3. Had to sign a labor

contract with a White; if they didn’t, they were considered a vagrant and cold be arrested to do “hard time.” Just to name a few….. This eventually led to…..Sharecropping!

Freedmen Bureau

The U.S. Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, popularly known as the Freedmen’s Bureau, was established in 1865 by Congress to help former black slaves and poor whites in the South in the aftermath of the U.S. Civil War.The Freedmen’s Bureau provided food, housing, and medical aid, established schools, and legal assistance. It also attempted to settle former slaves on Confederate lands confiscated or abandoned during the war.However, the bureau was prevented from carrying out its programs due to a shortage of funds and personnel, along with the politics of race and Reconstruction. In 1872, Congress, under pressure from white Southerners, shut it down.
