review summaries by unit

Here are the summaries you wrote in class:  C block and A block.  The text is a little light, but you can make it out for the most part.  Also, there may be some blank pages you can just disregard - I had to set the scanner to scan both sides of the page for the whole set, since some of you wrote on both front and back (very green, thank you) but others of you didn't go over a page with your summaries.

Also, here are the Reconstruction documents and here are the Reconstruction era cartoons from class.
