RECONSTRUCTION The Rebuilding of the South; Restoring the Southern states to the Union. Begins during the war and ends with the Compromise of 1877
The effects of the war… • THE UNION IS PRESERVED • SLAVERY IS ABOLISHED • ½ MILLION SOLDIERS DIED • SOUTHERN FARMS AND CITIES IN RUINS 1/3 OF THE MEN IN THE SOUTH
B. FIGHTING FOR CONTROL LINCOLN’S PLAN FOR RECONSTRUCTION: 10% PLAN When: -10% swear allegiance -a new state constitution is adopted, when they -13th amendment ratified it’s over… Pardons for Confederates who swear allegiance and accept the 13th amendment RADICAL REPUBLICANS THOUGHT IT WAS WAY TOO LENIENT!!
JOHNSON REMOVED THE 10% REQUIREMENT, PARDONED LEADERS OF THE CONFEDERACY.. POWER STRUGGLE WITH CONGRESS!! WHEN JOHNSON FIRES STANTON, THE CONGRESS MOVES FOR IMPEACHMENT...
JOHNSON KEEPS HIS OFFICE BY ONE VOTE, BUT THE POWER SHIFTS FROM THE PRESIDENCY TO CONGRESS AND THE RADICAL REPUBLICANS… U.S. Grant is elected in 1868 and then again in 1872.
FREEDMEN’S BUREAU HELPED SET UP AFRICAN-AMERICAN SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES. WORKED TO LEGALIZE MARRIAGES. BUILT SCHOOLS, PROVIDED CLOTHING & MEALS, PROVIDED MEDICINE…
CARPETBAGGERS: NORTHERNERS WHO MOVED IN TO THE SOUTH TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OPPORTUNITY DURING RECONSTRUCTION SCALAWAGS: SOUTHERNERS WHO SUPPPORTED RECONSTRUCTION POLICIES

SHARECROPPING REPLACES TRADITIONAL SLAVERY WITH “ECONOMIC SLAVERY” TENANT FARMING (RENTING FARMLAND) KEEPS FREED SLAVES IN THE SAME PLACES THEY HAD WORKED AS SLAVES. SHARECROPPERS GAVE UP 2/5 OF THEIR CROPS TO THE LAND OWNER…
HOW DID THE SOUTH ATTEMPT TO PRESERVE PRE-WAR CULTURE? SOCIALLY ECONOMICALLY BLACK CODES LICENSING VAGRANCY LAWS POLITICALLY SHARECROPPING TENANT FARMERS KU KLUX KLAN
THE KKK WAS ORGANIZED BY X-CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS TO TRY AND KEEP AFRICAN-AMERICANS FROM REALIZING AND UTILIZING THEIR RIGHTS… THEY WERE A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION THAT TRIED TO CONTOL FREED SLAVES AND KEEP THEM “IN THEIR PLACE.” FORREST GUMP’S MOMMA NAMED HIM AFTER NATHAN BEDFORD FORREST. SAME ACTIVITIES, DIFFERENT NAMES: PALE FACES, KNIGHTS OF THE WHITE CAMELIA…
E. THE END OF RECONSTRUCTION THE ELECTION OF 1876 CAUSED PROBLEMS… SAMUEL J. TILDEN (DEMOCRAT) RUTHERFORD B. HAYES (REPUBLICAN) DISPUTED VOTES THROW THE ELECTION INTO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES… IN THE COMPROMISE OF 1877, THE HAYES IS GIVEN THE PRESIDENCY IN RETURN FOR THE END OF RECONSTRUCTION IN THE SOUTH
