Can anyone say Amnesty?

During reconstruction there was a debate over whether the South should be granted amnesty for their rude actions towards African Americans. African Americans were treated not like any human. They were sold to slavery, beaten, and even killed. Do you think the South deserves Amnesty?  Amnesty is forgiveness to ones actions. The government made people believe that not one of those actions actually happend. It was all forgotten. I do not aggree that this should have happend. I think people should pay for there actions, just like we do today. I think if someone treats others poorly, they should be effected. Especially if they sold for slavery, beat, and abused the person/poeple.
