Reconstruction By: Erin, Melissa, and Matt Reconstruction • Reconstruction happened after the civil war, when the south was rejoining the union. It was a period of time when there was regulations and plans to help the south rejoin the union in an organized manner. Plans 1. 2. 3. 4. Ten Percent Plan- the southern states could adopt a new constitution with slavery being freed and a new government after 10% of voters of a state took oath of loyalty to the union. Didn’t want to punish southern states, so if they sworn loyalty to the union, then they would have a pardon. Wanted to heal nation’s wounds peacefully and effectively. Wade-Davis Bill- harsher way to let the south back to the north by only letting white males who swore they never went against the union could vote for delegates, there could be no right to hold public office, and there had to be a constitutional convention to become part of the union. Johnson’s Plan • Restoration- Opposed an freed African Americans equal rights or allowing them to vote. Had to form a new government, and had to be harsher to the south. • Every state except Texas by 1865 were ready to rejoin the Union, so “Restoration” was almost complete. Problems • Congress thought Lincoln was being to easy with southerners, so Congress thought of their own way to deal with the south called the WadeDavis Bill. Lincoln did not sign the bill, but he knew he had to create a compromise. • Southerner states thought they shouldn’t be punished, and have the Union army watching every move they did in the South by being there.
