Name: Reconstruction Webquest Define as if you were teaching a friend: 1. Segregation 2. Freedmen 3. Carpetbagger 4. 13th Amendment 5. 15th Amendment Facts about SOUTHERN DEVASTATION PHYSICAL DESTRUCTION WOUNDED SOLDIERS FREEDMEN FINANCIAL RUIN PLANS FOR REBUILDING: LINCOLN JOHNSON FURTHER SOUTHERN ISSUES: CARPERTBAGGERS SCALAWAGS FREEDMAN’S BUREAU BLACK CODES SHARECROPPING KKK WRITE A PARAGRAPH SUMMARIZING RECONSTRUCTION RADICAL REPUBLICANS Use Chapter 16 of your textbook, the responses to your webquest, and the information gathered to answer one of the following questions. Write a 3 paragraph response paper giving examples and explaining your thoughts. 1. President Lincoln wanted Reconstruction to heal the nation, but his assassination changed the course of history. How might Reconstruction have been different if Lincoln was not assassinated? 2. How did Reconstruction help Freedmen? How did it hurt Freedmen? 3. If you were in charge of Reconstruction at the end of the Civil War, what would your plan look like? Would you punish southerners or make it easy for the south to return to the Union? How would you help Freedmen gain their rights and be accepted by white southerners? 4. Think about America today. Does racism still exist? Is there still a conflict between the northern states and southern states? Do you think the policies of Reconstruction helped or hurt America in the long run? 5. Was Reconstruction successful at healing the nation and bringing the south back into the Union? (This question is not as straight forward as you might think on the surface)
