Transcript
Reconstruction
• Prior Knowledge- Do you feel the South should be punished for starting a
war that killed 600K people in order to keep people in slavery, or should the
S. simple be allowed to reenter the Union on the same basis as before the
war except w/out slavery?
• Objectives- students will be able to…
– 1) Identify and define the two separate plans favored by
President Lincoln and the Radical republicans.
– 2) Define the 3 Reconstruction Amendments
– 3) Evaluate if Reconstruction achieved its goals of
integrating Af/Am.s into US society by providing two
examples of success or failure.
CIVIL WAR JACKET DUE TOMORROW!
TEST THURSDAY!
Reconstruction (1865-1877) period after the Civil War to
rebuild the south and to readmit states that seceded from the
Union
• Lincoln’s Plan- (10%Plan) ten% of
voters from 1860 had to pledge
allegiance to the Union (then S. state
could reenter the Union and send
representatives to Congress)
• *Lincoln did not want to punish the
south (knew S. would take out anger
on Af/Am)
• Problem- Lincoln was assassinated
by John Wilkes Booth)
• *VP Andrew Johnson takes over and
also does not want to punish South
Do you feel that Confederates (White,
Southerners) got their revenge by
killing Lincoln or did the S. hurt
themselves by killing Lincoln?
Radical Reconstruction- Republicans in Congress want to punish the
South and protect Af/AM
(50% plan- feel Pres. Lincoln and Johnson are too lenient on south, Rad. Rep.
want 50% of S. to pledge allegiance, never passes)
• 14th Amendment- prevents states from
denying rights to citizens (Equal
Protection), defines citizenship (anyone
born in US or naturalized)
• 15th Amendment- can not keep a person
from voting based on “race, color, or
previous servitude (slavery)”
• *Gave Af/AM the right to vote
• If Af/Am had the right to vote, then why were
there so many laws that discriminated Af/Am
(Black Codes, Jim Crow Laws)?
• *Problem- could use other ways to keep
people from voting (reading test, poll tax,
Grandfather Clause)
Opposition to reconstruction- south upset at losing CW
and did not like having the North influencing the South
• North’s influence- military troops protect
blacks and protect their right to vote
• Military Reconstruction Act- 1867
dissolved southern states in 5
military districts (States could
reenter Union when they adopt
14th and 15th Amendments)
• *Military leaves the South in 1877 and
Blacks are left to the mercy of Southern
state governments who begin
segregation
• Ku Klux Klan- secret society created
during Reconstruction to destroy the
Republican Party in the South, prevent
blacks from voting and frighten
Af/Am from participating in Southern
politics
