Last two days of class 2/1 and 2/4

On Friday in class we read President Andrew Johnson's obituary which explained his whole life and how he basically contradicted everything Congress put forth which eventually lead to him getting impeached. Today in class we talked about the rights of African Americans after the civil war. There were a few laws passed which gave blacks the social equality of all others but realistically they had a very tough time fitting into society, or at least a tough time becoming accepted by society.
