The Radicals

What I know about Radical Republicans is that they were part of the Republican party and their beliefs was based on antislavery and pro black rights but they whanted to punish the south for their deeds.also they were grately opposed by Henry Wilson.The Radical Republicans also disagreed with Lincoln's ten percent plan wich allowed all southerners back in to the union by taking a loyalty oath because they believe it granted  president Lincoln with more power in congress based on the Union policy. The Radical Rebublicans tryed to pass the Wade Davis Bill that stated no slavery and for the new states that were once Confederate to pay for the war damages. However Lincoln pocket vetoed the bill. The Radicals also help with the impeachment of Andrew Johnson.

The Occurance at Owl Creek

The occurance at Owl Creek Brige by Ambrose Birce has powerful descriptive writting that makes the reader see the events the main character Payton Farquar describe before he dies from stragulation in the form of hanging, "As to his head he was conscious of nothing but a feeling of fulness of congrestion these sensations were unaccompanied by thought ... he was concious of emotion" (Bierce 34). The author's purpose was to bring remorse to the death scene by the use of details and strong emotions.

Furthermore, the scene that got my atenttion was the part that has Payton Farquad's diolog," To be hanged and drowed, "he thought that is not so bad; but i do not wish to be shot, no i will not be shot; that is not fair"(Bierce 35). He would rather be drowend and hanged because it gives him time to close his eyes and be concious about his last thoughts before his death ,rather than to be shot and die so suddenly. The purpose of the scene was to enphesisze that his wife was very important to him and to have a few moments to see her again.

In the end the author added farqua's diolog to add emphesis on the meaning of the story. With the use of strong emotion and descriptive writting.

The Amendments of the constitution

The 13th Amendment clearly states that slavery or any forms of servitued against your will is not allowed any were in the United States, unless the person has been convicted of a crime. According to the text book titeld American Past and Present "Neighter slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for a crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subjected to their jurishdiction" (Divine et al. A-12). Then in section two it clarifies that Congress has the right to enforce the article.

Also the 14th Amendment consist of five sections the first section defines what a citizen of the United States is. According to the text "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction therefore are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside" (Divine et al. A-12) therefore if a person is born in the US he or she is a citizen automatically. And if a person is dined the rights of a citizen with out any process of law like at a court hearing he or she would have their rights deprived, but amendment 14th would help him or her in court. Sections three and four explains what the rules are for the Representatives in Congress. For example Representatives are chosen by numbers by the state that they reside. In the end of section five it clearly states that Congress has the power to change article 14th.

 In Amendment 15th the right for a citizen to vote can not be taken away by the US or any state do to the individual's ethnicity or their social economic status.
