Anti-Reconstruction
Please join and help us get rid of Reconstruction!!
What is wrong with it?
We don't want to admit secession was illegal. We want slavery to keep the farms going. We don't want the Union telling us what to do.
Slavery
Slaves being freed and leaving the plantations along with their families is not what we want! Who is going to do all the work. What will happen to our plantations? We need slave labor to succeed and help the Texas Economy.
Freedman's Bureau
The Freedman's Bureau was an organization that helped freedman. They taught them how to read, they gave them legal help, opened schools, helped them get jobs, and succeed. They don't need to learn, they need to be on the farms working for us. Go home carpetbaggers!!!!
We Can't Give Up!
We can't give up to the federal government. Texas fought hard for its independence, and we are proud of who we are! We should not obey the new laws given to us by the Union Government. No 13th or 14th Amendment!
Black Codes
We need laws to restrict the new freedman. We need to keep them uneducated, but keep them working for the plantations. These new codes will severely punish those who do not work. It will also fine them for not working. Other codes will be created to keep the blacks from gaining true freedom and independence.
