My sister thinks Roran will. I think it'll be someone really unlikely...like Elva maybe. But anyway, tell me who you think will be the rider of the green dragon who will be on the cover, and why you think they'll be it.

Hi! I'm a 12th grade Student. My essay is about the Reconstruction Period. What do u think of it? How much do u rate it from 1-100? Are there any errors? What are they?
Thank you so Much!

Reconstruction was the process in U.S. history from 1865-1877 that attempted to resolve the issues of the American Civil War when both the Confederacy and slavery were destroyed. At the end of the Civil War , the defeated South was a ruined land. The physical destruction wrought by the invading Union forces was enormous, and the old social and economic order founded on slavery had collapsed completely, with nothing to replace it. The 11 Confederate states somehow had to be restored to their positions in the Union and provided with loyal governments, and the role of the emancipated slaves in Southern society had to be defined.

The Civil War ended on April 9, 1865, when Confederate general Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union general Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia. The North's victory settled two important issues. First, it established that states were not allowed to leave, or secede from, the United States. Second, it put an end to slavery throughout the country. But the end of the war also raised a whole new set of issues. For example, federal lawmakers had to decide whether to punish the Confederate leaders, what process to use to readmit the Southern states to the Union, and how much assistance to provide in securing equal rights for the freed slaves.

Because these complicated issues carried a great deal of importance for the future of the nation, Reconstruction was a time of great political and social turmoil. President Andrew Johnson who took office after Abraham Lincoln, controlled the earliest Reconstruction efforts. But the U.S. Congress felt that the president's Reconstruction policies were too lenient (easy) on the South. Led by members of the Republican Party, Congress enacted stricter Reconstruction policies beginning in 1866 and sent in federal troops to enforce them. The ongoing dispute between Johnson and Congress led to the president's impeachment in 1868.

On Mar. 2, 1867, Congress enacted the Reconstruction Act, which, supplemented later by three related acts, divided the South (except Tennessee) into five military districts in which the authority of the army commander was supreme. Johnson continued to oppose congressional policy, and when he insisted on the removal of the radical Secretary of War, Edwin M. Stanton , in defiance of the Tenure of Office Act , the House impeached him (Feb., 1868). The radicals in the Senate fell one vote short of convicting him (May), but by this time Johnson's program had been effectively scuttled.

Under the terms of the Reconstruction Acts, new state constitutions were written in the South. By Aug., 1868, six states (Arkansas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama, and Florida) had been readmitted to the Union, having ratified the Fourteenth Amendment as required by the first Reconstruction Act. The four remaining unreconstructed states—Virginia, Mississippi, Texas, and Georgia—were readmitted in 1870 after ratifying the Fourteenth Amendment as well as the Fifteenth Amendment, which guaranteed the black man's right to vote.


By 1876 only Florida, South Carolina, and Louisiana remained under Republican domination. The Republican presidential candidate that year, Rutherford B. Hayes , promised to alleviate conditions in the South, but the feeling there had already led to the formation of the "solid South" in support of his Democratic opponent, Samuel J. Tilden . In those three states the presidential contest was the occasion for a determined effort to throw off Republican rule, and on their electoral votes (and on one disputed electoral vote in Oregon) hung the fate of the famous disputed election of 1876. It is practically certain that at least one of the three gave a majority, and thus the presidency, to Tilden, but two sets of returns were sent in from each of the three states. A specially constituted electoral commission (composed of eight Republicans and seven Democrats) accepted the Republican returns, and Hayes was given the presidency.

Reconstruction officially ended as all federal troops were withdrawn from the South. White rule was restored, and black people were over time deprived of many civil and political rights and their economic position remained depressed. The radicals' hopes for a basic reordering of the social and economic structure of the South, beyond the abolition of slavery, died. The results, instead, were the one-party "solid South" and increased racial bitterness.

I have been in a couple of community theater productions and have dealt with choreographers who just like to tell people how bad they are. I would prefer to receive a more detailed critique. Is it everyone in the ensemble or only certain people? When the choreographer yells, it really doesn't motivate anyone. I try not to react, but everyone in the production is not a dancer and non-dancers need longer to learn things. I am a dancer and think I have the steps, but I don't know because he never explains what we are doing wrong. It is like we have to figure it out for ourselves. I could understand if we were a week before opening, but we've only been practicing the dances about a week. Any advice?

I have to reproduce a painting from the 20th century. I found one which can be found here : http://voirouregarder.typepad.com/photos/morceaux_choisis/renoir.jpg but I don't know what it's called. The website doesn't give me any information whatsoever. I'm pretty sure it's by Pierre Auguste Renoir, but I cant seem to find it anywhere, and I don't know if it's even the whole painting. So I was wondering if anyone recognized this and could help me, give me some information? I need this as soon as possible. Thanks.
