The Fold-able Chair


I will make a chair that will fold up so you can take it anywhere you go. I will make it so that it can fold like a table. I use The Vertical Integration Plan. It will have removable parts so that if part of the chair breaks you can replace that specific part. I will make it by it having legs that can get shorter and longer and can fold and it will have a very soft seat with the back rest as a soft type cushion. I will avoid conflicts with workers by making sure they are trained to make it the right way.
Some business practices that I would use are for all workers to be trained to make it the right way. Some that I won’t use are to keep workers that don’t show up for training or those who keep making the fold-able chairs wrong. My plan will work because when women knit, they would like to sit on a soft seat and they don’t always knit at home, so they could take it with them. If they are not happy then their husbands won’t be happy.

The risks are: the mines could possibly collapse. The advantages are: you get to work for something that you love, there's good weather, and you don't have to buy the tools. Interested? Come see me!

Reconstruction to The South

The South was destroyed after they had surrendered.Many men after the war became disabled and returned home after the war to their farms destroyed and the cities they lived in ruined. A lot of people who fought in the war lost some if not all family members. Those who lost family were devastated. Many of them faced starvation. Most of their animals had ran away or had been killed. When there had been food available it was hard to distribute it.

Mary Chesnut had wrote in her diary about the food. She said " We are shut in here. All railroads and bridges were gone. We are cut off from the world." Financial situation had began to fail before the war and it struggled even more now. Banks and business owners went bankrupt because people couldn't pay the money back. Confederate General Braxton Bragg found that " all, all was lost, except my debts."

For most of the former slaves, the freedom to travel without a pass was the first step to a long road to equal rights and a new life. A South Carolina woman explained, " I must go, if I stay here I'll never know I'm free." Many African Americans left the white-controlled churches and created their own congregations.

President Lincoln wanted to reunite the nation q uickly and painlessly as possible. before the war had ended, he had a plan for reentering the southern states. Any southern state with at least 10% of its voters making the pledge could have their own state government and be readmitted into the Union.
