On Line Seminar

We will be having an online seminar. You can start posting today and you have until Monday morning at 9:30 AM to post. You must post at least three times. When you post, be sure you are using proper grammar and spelling. Be sure that you have evidence to support your  ideas and also make sure you are responding to other posts by your peers. The question you should discuss is: Was Reconstruction successful? You should consider its impact on the African Americans in the South, how well the Union came back together and the impact on the Southern states. If you have any questions, please let me know.
