North And South's Outlook

This image shows  that the North and South had perceived the actions that Lincoln had took differently from one another. The South thought of it as bad thing and wanted to begin to fight and cause chaos. While the North on the other hand thought it would create peace and they agreed with his decisions.

Amnesty for the South !

During the reconstruction I think the South should have been granted amnesty. Lincoln just wanted to grant the Southerners forgiveness for their transgressions. I believe he should have because everyone deserves a second chance to start over and begin something new. If he granted them amnesty then he could continue with his reconstruction plan and this would have helped to bring the North and South together as one.

"That government is best which governs least"

The quote stated by Thoreau when he said, "that government is best which governs least" means that if the government lets the citizens have a voice and a say in what occurs  more often rather than the government just making all of the decisions on their own, we would have a prosperous government. I agree with this quote to a certain extent because then the government will have a better say on what the people want and we would have more freedom and say on what goes on in the world and they will not govern every aspect of our lives. I also disagree because some people may take advantage of this and create many problems which will affect the lives of others. I believe the government and the citizens should have an equal amount of say on what goes on in the world.

Why is that so many people are judged ?

In today's society, just by looking at someone, people quickly jump to conclusions and always assume how a perosn may act and judge them by their appearance. If they actually took the time to get to know one another before judging, they would realize others are not what they seem to be. Do you know what it's called ? It would be considered a stereotype, Just because of ones nationality someone would have negative comments or assume what the person is all about, like if someone saw an Irish person, they would quickly assume, that person is a drunk and loves to drink alcohol, which may not be true. But because of the way society was before, like when segragation had occured and blacks were separated from the whites because of their skin color,and many whites judged african americans and thought they were superior to them. A stereotype is also so widely accepted by many so they continue to judge and it will always remain a problem in society but not as problematic as before, like when segregation occured or when hitler believed that his race was better then the jews.

Without History what would this world be ?

Does history matter ? Of course history matters, history is one of the most important and significant things that we base our studies off of today. If history did not exist we would not know things such as when our independence day was and how we gained things, like our freedom. History is the main source from where people such as scientist gain their background knowledge of how our world used to be and what existed. History most importantly shows us how we came to the point we are in the world today. It also helps to figure the outcome of what the future might hold and what to expect to see, like they say history repeats itself, so with the knowledge of what went on before you may be able to predict what could occur in the future.

History Lies

"History is the lie that is commonly agreed upon" which was stated by Voltaire. This statement had a very significant meaning,what Voltair was trying to portray by saying this was that , the history that is taught today is mainly based off of lies but people go along with what they are told so this is what is being passed on from generation to generation. Since the truth is not told in many textbooks and teachers already have been teaching the false facts, they have not made an effort to teach what the truth really is. History would be considered a lie because the writers that would state things that occured in the wars, would be the ones who have won the battles and how things were outlooked from their perspective, you don't get to see the point of view or to hear the side of the others who have lost in battle. You do not get to see their view because many of them would have been murdered, so their story would not be told. Therefore, you do not know all the facts of what occured during that time period, you only know what occured on what was decided to be told to the public eye.
