I think that since the blacks were are are free it's a success because that's what the North had wanted. I agree that it was a failure for the south because then they would have to do their own work to make the money that wanted. But in the future(present for us) everyone has to work for their own money.

Okayy, I agree and disagree on this one. Bunches of people are racist, they aren't just from the south. I actually have a friend from the south, not racist. And we still technically help the south, yes they are greedy. And Iraq has hates the U.S for a long time, I don't really think that will ever change.

Voter ID Laws should be put into effect soon because as the years go by even the hours or minutes the crime rate goes up. And also identity theft is a big thing these days. So if people are okayy with spending other people's money then they would VERY much not care about if you can vote or not, so the laws should be used so every person can vote for themselves.

Yes. But people go through a lot to get what the want. And if they had done a crime like that before and got away w/ it. Then they know how to do it, so it wouldn't be that difficult for them to do it again.

I half agree though, because the laws don't have to be enforced so harshly.

I don't think that's fully true. If you are trying to say that it restricts certain people from voting, then that is not fully true. If you don't have the I.D if the laws go into effect and you want to vote, then get the picture I.D.

Reconstruction had both failures and success but I think there was more failure in ways, socially and in the economy. Economically in the south it could not function because of the lack of an investment. Socially because the blacks were no longer slaves.

I think that the reconstruction was a failure and a success. One of the success's was Abraham freeing the slaves. But reconstruction after that had been a failure to modify the South and to distribute the wealth. The reconstruction could also not protect the blacks against discrimination towards them, like racism because racism was a major things back then.

But people can still take someone else's ID and copy it and put in their own picture. So it doesn't stop all theft and forgery things.

People wouldn't be able to take another's identity so easily. But Obama could still be the president. Just because a lot of people don't like Obama he could still be the president if there was no identity theft, because many people support him.

I think that there should be vote ID laws in every state. Because there is so much crime and stolen ID's that they should have the pictures so they know who was the real person who voted and also so there is no forgery or identity theft anymore. Or at least try to so everyone can vote.
