What would it be like to live in the south as a freedman during Reconstruction?
allowing white southerners to participate in government during the reconstruction era
For the most-part, historians deem Reconstruction to be a failure.Taken as a collective "true or false" the answer would more than likely be false from a majority of historians.In other words... "False."
that would be the civil war
it is a time during the civil war that all the other people took other peoples things and did not think twice about it and didnt care who they hurt in the processe of doiing there crime full acts. Actually, this person is almost right, but he doesn't explain that much. The Carpetbaggers were northerners that came south after the civil war in a period called reconstruction and they bought property at fire-sale prices and sold it at regular price. The Southerners couldn't do anything about it because they had lost the war. The name "scalawag" was created for the carpetbaggers. Actually you are almost right. The term Scalawag was used to descibe southerners that agreed with what the Carpetbaggers did. That is the only problem that I saw in your explaination.

Like scalawag and peckerwood, it is unknown who coined the post-Civil War term carpetbagger, but it came into common use and is still used occasionally. Some New Yorkers called Hilary Rodham-Clinton a carpetbagger when she ran for a US Senate seat in New York, which would make her something of a reverse carpetbagger.
Slaves may not have known (or just not cared) that the person was a carpetbagger. They just would vote for them because the carpetbagger was a republican (Abe Lincoln was a republican, so slaves kind of saw the whole party as being completely against slavery, which they mostly were). In other words, they were probably happy that they could support an anti-slavery politician, and the carpetbagger was probably happy that he was getting some political power.
The spelling "carpetter" would be one who installs carpeting.The likely word may be carpenter, someone in woodworking and/or wood construction.
The racial tensions were increased because of Reconstruction. Whites thought the Freedman's Bureau would give Blacks handouts and make them lazy. During Reconstruction Southerners created the Black codes as a way to stifle any progress that Blacks attempted to make.
Most likely it would be during the Winter because most likely its very caol and its not likely for them to survive in the harsh cold.
The reconstruction efforts would be tedious but worthwhile.

it would thunder and have lightning
former slaves made citizens
well first I would build house for the poor soldiers. Then I would get constructions workers to build lots of schools.
