Consequences of the Civil War and Reconstruction 1865-1877
After the Civil War, our country needed to be rebuilt. To “reconstruct” means to build again. During the
Reconstruction era Congress passed the 13th (abolished slavery),
14th, (states could not limit citizens rights) and 15th
amendments (gave all men the right to vote). Congress formed the Freedman’s
Bureau to provide food, clothing, and medicine, as well as to help set up
schools, hospitals, and jobs (sharecropping) for poor blacks and whites.
However, the Southern States continued to pass laws called the Jim Crow
laws which continued to cause segregation between blacks and whites. Students are responible to take notes prior to the test and on the test review day (oneto two days prior to the test)
Vocab: striving, impeach, contention, jim crowlaws, black
codes (not same as Jim Crow) , reconstruction, assassination, Freedmans Bureau, sharecropping, scalawag, carpet bagger, George Washington Carver, black codes, segregation, effects of the war on North and South, gains for reuniting the nation.

Significant Knowledge Key Point 2 --Chemical and Physical Changes
All substances are made of matter. Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. Physical properties are one way to describe matter. A physical change begins and ends with the same substance, water is still water. The way you can tell a physical change has taken place is by looking for a change in size, shape, position or texture. Physical change as a change that is reversible and no new substances are made. Physical changes can cause changes in phase (gas, liquid, solid, plasma), and color and temperature changes, but these are changes in the condition of the substance not due to a change of the composition of the material nor has another material been formed. Examples of physical changes include cutting material (wood, paper, cloth, etc), molding into new shapes (clay, mud, molten steel, etc), melting of butter, and boiling or freezing water.
A chemical change on the other hand makes new substance/s. The matter is different. The old matter is no longer present nor can it be recovered. The particles of the substance are broken apart and the atoms/molecules are re-arranged thus forming a new substance. In the chemical change you may also observe a phase (gas to liquid, etc) change as well as color, odor, temperature, and light changes. Examples of chemical changes include milk going sour, jewelry tarnishing, bread being toasted, and rust forming on metals.
