The+Megamind+Plan



1) As we stand as fellow gentlemen after our countries disputes on policies involving Negros, as well as class ranking, a clear ideal has been reached. In order for the majority to benefit within our union we are pleased to say a fair and regulated plan has been formulated. Sense we do not want to punish our southern brothers we will only ask that they take a psycho analysis test under the supervision of professional psycho analyzers in order to see if they are fit to be able to hold a place of power in the union. In order for our brothers to be reunified we would need twenty five percent of the votes. Union troops will be selected after these tests to be used as private protection for ambassadors and other people of important stance.

2) If the ex-Confederates wish to stay apart of their government and contribute to the growth of their country they will have to go through a psycho analysis, which will distinguish whether they are well enough mentality to be apart of important decision making. If they fail this test and are a treat to the public, then they will not be able to run for office, or have anything to due with electoral voting.

I like the idea of having a test to ensure the mental wellness of those running for office. However, was it really a mental instability that caused the ex-Confederates to support the Southern cause, or just political beliefs. Also, is the science of this era advanced enough so that reliable psychoanalysis tests can be administered?

3) Sadly at this time, we can not do a sufficient amount for the freemen; we have already outlawed the “political meetings” and all they stand for, as for policing we can attempt to permanently end this outlandish behavior by the help of the Union troops and local patriotic Americans who would be willing to put their lives up for the cause of the freeman, those who help end this horrid will be given the proper authority to due so by the government and their identities will remain unknown if they so wish.

Good, the topic of crimes against the freedmen is taken care of. But will the freedmen immediately gain full citizenship? Will there be anything done to educate the freedmen? Will they be aided as they try to make a fresh start in society? Good start, but I think you need to elaborate more on how the freedmen will fit into society and if/how they will be helped along the way as they try to start fresh.

4) The southern positions of office are to be held by those that are seen fit for the position. In order to qualify to vote the men involved will have to be run though the psycho analytically tests and if they pass will then be able to vote. If they wish to run for office they must swear an oath on the Bible stating they are not a member of any white supremacy group, that they will serve to unify our union, and that they will do what is best for the people rather than a personal gain. For the current moment in time Negros will be asked to step down from any such position in office, not because of the color of their skin, but the pure fact that such a major change will cause more issues then help with the current circumstances. They will however be able to have a voice in the issues and policy that our country passes, but only if they are literate enough to understand that votes that they are casting. I completely agree with what you're saying here! Government positions should be for people who seem fit to serve in them, and that for the time being, blacks should step away from voting and politics to not cause more trouble. Awesome! But, the part I'm not sure about is the psychoanalysis. I feel like, especially in the late 1800s, the availability in science would be a little lacking for this test to be accurate. Maybe there would be a better way to test people before they can vote? Like some kind of IQ test or something if they were able to be educated. Or if not those things, just an idea of their class/financial status and their background.

5) Before earning these full rights and representation, the Confederates must accomplish certain requirements.First they must attend a psycho analysis test which will determine their stance in the public. Second, probably the most challenging, but to acknowledge the amendments by showing respect to the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments. This may be a difficult obstacle to face, but in order to unify with the Union they must face the hardship of racism. These are the commitments the Confederates must face, but failed in putting themselves to this commitment will have them facing execution from their position and further having loss the full right and representation in the government, not able to do anything to run for office or with electoral voting. Seen as an unfortunate loss, that is why we expect a tranquil compromise. Again, the psychoanalysis thing may not be so accurate or even available. I feel like the ideas in this question also conflict with those in the previous one. If you believe that government positions should be held by only people who are fit to serve in them and that no one's rights should be taken away, then taking people out of office and completely stripping them of their rights to vote or serve again seems very contrary. You can't set them up for failure by telling them one thing, then turning around and slamming them for following your rules. Therefore, I don't really understand how a tranquil compromise can be expected from this. 6) We understand that the South’s “way of life” has been completely altered and that the Southern economy had taken a toll due to the war that injured and severed our country and that it is critical for them to get back on their feet financially in order for our country to thrive as a hole. The North has advanced technology that can help the South’s monetary issues without the uses of slavery. The North worked its way up from the ground up and now the South must again do the same from the words of Benjamin Franklin, “ It is the working man who is the happy man. It is the idle man who is the miserable man”. So let us work to get back to prosperity buy fixing up the damaged public properties from the war and since slavery is abolished there is more work for all especially including the poor white man so that the economy of each city can start to recirculate, maybe even more than it ever had before. I do not understand what the north's "advanced technology" is and how it can help with the South's "monetary issues" without using slavery. Do you mean factories? Which one's? This definitely needs more details. Yes the North worked itself up over an extremely long period of time, and with the aid of the South's raw materials. The South can not just be turned into a carbon copy of the North, especially as quickly as the economy needs to be revived. Fixing up public properties is a good idea, but it is also expensive. Where will the South get the money? They are already vastly in debt from the war. Are they going to pay their workers. Also, you are only thinking about the cities. What about the farmers? Considering that most of the South is rural, it might be a good idea to focus your attention there. 7)We wish not to punish anyone. We wish to unify everyone. Together we stand while separated we fall. We know that not everyone seems to be represented in these circumstances, but big change takes time and as for our Southern Brothers the wounds that were received need time to heal as well as the unions. The union shall only be aminor aid to the southern polotices and shoulf only intervene when rights are not being upheld. So you do not plan on doing anything to protect the freedmen. The Southern whites are racist, violence, and willing to kill and torture those who vote against them or anger them in any way. If Union soldiers only intervene when rights are not being upheld, then I think they are going to be there all the time. Considering that the freedmen were swindled out of their voting rights, how is the government going to ensure that their rights are being upheld. I think that if you give the South their freedom right away, the results will be disastrous. 8) Above all, the purpose of reconstruction is by keeping this nation progressing through with reunification, which will later establish into an united nation. Enabling slaves to be free and african americans being able to have the same rights as whites. We will begin to work along with each other both the North and South, side by side to accomplish to goal, instead of battling and arguing with each other. And the main component to ensure peace and unity.
