Reconstruction Times
The bloody years are over! After the four years of civil war the soldiers that were against each other are now friends. God bell on this day the 364,000 healthy young men in witch 38,000 were powerless African Americans and the 260,000 adults that died on those bloody days. American bloodshed will probably never be as much as in the past years.
The results of the war were disastrous. While young children that are unable to take care of themselves without parents are out on the streets as orphans, wives are widows with no husbands to care for them. The plantation owners loosing a lot of money will be forced to sell their farms to pay off their debts from the war. Now that the Sothern farmers have no free labor because of the freedom of all black raced people, their farms are but naked fields. The North still strong welcomes African Americans to work in factories or in northern farms. Some black still choose to stay are workers in the farms they were in before the war.
Sorry is what we should be for the brave president Lincoln (see more on page 1) that was just assassinated, but we cheer Andrew Johnson to continue the plan that the one that has left us began. Congress is taking a break during these days. Our leaders agreed that slavery should be eliminated, and that secession has to be totally omitted. We are glad to welcome in our government the 13th and 14th amendments which will provide opportunity for more people. We can only hope that the reconstruction will be over by 1877.

Morocco goes green and healthy

Morocco hopes to be less dependent on foreign energy sources and protect the environment by making a huge solar power project.

It is the $9 billion project that hopes to create 2,000 MW by 2020, and would reduce the kingdom's reliance on imports of electricity, oil and gas. In 2007 this was 96% of Morocco's power, and this made Morocco a very unfrendly Kingdom with the enviorment.

The project is to be more ecofriendly; we hope to protect the environment and sease the climate change, according to Minister of Energy and Mining Amina Benkhadra, who presented the project on Monday November 2nd, this year.

"The project will reduce energy imports by saving the equivalent of a million tonnes of oil per year," said the minister, adding that it will "help protect the environment by cutting carbon dioxide emissions by 3.7 million tonnes annually".

The wanted capacity of 2,000 MW by 2020 will be the equivilant of 38% of the of the other three main power plants. This new power plant will be on a 10,000 hekter area.ers.

To be sertan that these goals will be achieved, the project will also consist of introducing solar energy programmes to colleges of engineering and universities. The project will as well train technicians to be ready for this big turn in Morocco's economy and realtion with the enviorment.The project is said to be financed by foreing private companies and the governemt.

Moroccan officials also say that the production will be of 5 kWh per square metre per day of solar radiation and 3,000 hours of sunshine per year, which will could make Morocco a more environmentally-friendly Morocco.

Morocco wants to get rid of the need for forien electricity, and to be a more inviormently firendly Kingdom.
