I was going to do a talk show for my final in history I would like some input from people as to what to do. I have to do the reconstruction debate of the mid 1800's, this is not a full thorough assignment though. I'm not exactly sure what to put in it i know i cant put what actually happens but what might have happened such as the bills proposed to do with the south. Also, i would like to know what to do with my talk show because i also am not to sure on that. ? § ¥ £
