Secretary of Agriculture
Hello, I am Kathryn and I am the Secretary of Agriculture. I serve as the head of the Department of Agriculture, and focus on the safety and regulation of food production with farmers all over the country. I will help the Southern communities' farms and help build their agricultural economy again. I will focus on exploring various crops to see which one the United States should focus on producing. I will be working with the Secretary of Labor to find something that will replace slavery.
Policies
- How will you plan to get the North factories and South farms working together again? Cooperatively? - We will plan to get north and south factories working together by having them realize how much in common they are and that they are just as same. Show them that they can create a better earning and profit if they work together. South will harvest the ingredients while the North creates the products in good quality then it gets sold.then the goods will be sold for a higher price for their material and there good manufacturing quality.
- How will you get newly freed men working? What will they do? How much will they earn? Who will they work with and under? -We will get newly free men working by persuading them to do what they are passionate about, and also present that they need to carry a burden to earn money to sustain a casual environment for a family. Their job will be related to what they did earlier, if they choose to. They have the right and freedom to be or do whatever they want to be. They will earn at least 35 cents an hour, and that vary accordingly to their job and skills 50 cents is minimum wage. You may go as high as you want to because you have the right to do that, it just cannot go under a certain point. They will work with all races and with others with same or different skills. They will work for whoever they choose to. They may open their own business if they choose. Someone who has already opened their own business (before and after the civil war) they have the right to employ those who agree to work for them.
- How will you recover the South’s economy without slavery? - We will help them create inventions of their own and factories to help them with their labor-intensive work. We will also have Northerns come South to help out with ideas. Our main plan is to show the Soth that there are many alternative ways to get their work done.
- How will you protect working citizens? - We will help the working citizens by protecting their rights. We will stand up for them if their job is taken away, and help them find a new job. We will also make sure everyone does work by will and gets benefits. Tenant farming and sharecropping depending on the age of the family.
- How will you create new jobs? -We will create new jobs by exploring more fields, and creating more opportunities to get jobs. We will encourage citizens to start their own business. This will cause them the need to hire, and soon they will create jobs to assist in their practice.
- How will you make the North and South come together, in terms of the economy and labor? - The South will now produce more higher quality agricultural with the help of the North’s factories/machines/inventions. The North will now get better, richer material since they will no be working together with the South.
- Will you want to pass any laws regarding this topic? -Yes, we will pass laws to make sure that no one is denied the right to get a job. A white has to give a black the same chance to get a job. Everyone also has to be paid above 35 cents per hour. Everyone will be treated the same at jobs. Blacks and whites will be doing equal work.
- What is your policy for this? - All residents of the US have an equal chance of getting a job. No employer should ever segregate over salary, work quality, and chance to the employ or employ candidate. All workers should be treated equally, and there should NEVER be any discrimination. Anyone may start their own business, but must employ at least one person to work for them. Proof of any discrimination done will be dealt with and essentially fined.
- How will you policy help the economy? (North and South) - Our policy will make the North and South come together. our economy will improve after the South’s agricultural skill combine with the North’s proficient factory skills.
