How Lincoln tries to answer the questions
1863 he issues the Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction He outlined his plan on reunion
This plan was called the “10 Percent Plan”
Amnesty = to
pardon
![Page 10: Reconstruction The rebuilding of the United States after the Civil War](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d975503460f94a8116f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Lincoln’s 10% Plan
In order to be “re-admitted” into the Union: Confederate Governments had to disband A pardon would be issued to any
Confederate who would take an oath of loyalty to the United States, and accept the federal policy on slavery (which was that slavery would be abolished).
Pardons denied to high-ranking Confederate officers and gov’t officials
Pardons denied to southerners who had killed African American War prisoners
![Page 11: Reconstruction The rebuilding of the United States after the Civil War](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d975503460f94a8116f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Once 10 % of 1860 eligible voters are pardoned states would then…
hold a constitutional convention, for the purpose of creating a new state constitution (which would have to conform to the Constitution of the United States).
hold elections and resume full participation in the Union. No former leaders of Confederacy or high
ranking officers could be a part of the new government
**Once “readmitted”, Lincoln would protect their property, not their slaves!
![Page 12: Reconstruction The rebuilding of the United States after the Civil War](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d975503460f94a8116f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Lincoln’s plan was forgiving
In Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address March, 1865, he said the following:“With malice toward none, with charity for all, ...let us strive on to finish the work we are in, ...to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among
ourselves and with all nations.”
![Page 13: Reconstruction The rebuilding of the United States after the Civil War](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d975503460f94a8116f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
1864- 3 states under Union occupation set up governments under the plan Louisiana, Arkansas, and
Tennessee Once representative
were chosen for Congress CONGRESS REJECTED
THEM
Was Lincoln’s Plan a Success?
Lincoln was
Assassinated
before a plan was
agreed upon
**if re-admitted under Lincoln’s plan
then that state would not get
representation in Congress
![Page 14: Reconstruction The rebuilding of the United States after the Civil War](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d975503460f94a8116f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Those who were unhappy with Lincoln’s Plans became known
as the Radical Republicans Lincoln was too lenient on the south and
the south needed to be punished saw it as a threat to their Congressional
Authority. It’s Congress’s job to make laws, not the
president’s!
Lincoln “should confine himself to his executive duties—to obey and execute, not make the laws…
and leave political reorganization to Congress.”

What happened to the Wade-Davis Bill?
Lincoln let the bill die in a pocket veto.
How does a pocket veto occur? Typically, if president does not sign bill
within 10 days it automatically becomes law
But….if Congress adjourns/leaves within those 10 days and is not signed then it does not become law
![Page 18: Reconstruction The rebuilding of the United States after the Civil War](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d975503460f94a8116f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How a bill is passedCongress creates a law
Congress votes on law (majority)
President of U.S.Yes Veto
(no)
Congress 2/3 vote override
Pocket Veto
President ignores 10 days Congress goes into recess bill “dies”
![Page 19: Reconstruction The rebuilding of the United States after the Civil War](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d975503460f94a8116f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Why use a pocket veto?
Re-elections are coming up
Doesn’t get accused of saying “No”
Can’t go back to Congress for 2/3 override

Freedmen’s Bureau Created by Congress March, 1865 to help
black and poor white southerners adjust to freedom Offers clothing, medical supplies, and food to
war refugees Built schools, offered teacher training…
Over 250,000 African Amer students received their first former education through the Bureau schools.
Created job opportunities redistributed additional confiscated land to
former slaves and poor whites.. leased 40acres could purchase later

How were things left before Lincoln was assassinated?
No decisions were made At the end of the Civil War, in the
spring of 1865…
Lincoln and Congress were on the brink of a political showdown with their competing plans for Reconstruction…….and then….
![Page 22: Reconstruction The rebuilding of the United States after the Civil War](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d975503460f94a8116f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Lincoln’s hopes of forgiveness end
Weeks after his Second Inauguration, April 14, 1865, Lincoln was assassinated at the Ford’s Theater by John Wilkes Booth
John Wilkes Booth, an actor and Confed soldier plotted with others to first kidnap Lincoln and exchange him for prisoners. Failed
Vice President Andrew Johnson replaced Lincoln as President

Restoration Johnson’s plan would grant amnesty
to most Southerners once they swore loyalty to the Union High-ranking Confederates could be pardoned
only by appealing to the president…why?
Could hold constitutional conventions without Lincoln’s 10%-no requirement
States could hold elections and rejoin Union if… denounced secession And ratified the 13th amendment
(Abolished slavery in the US) AND repudiate(reject) Confederate
debt

Under Johnson’s Administration HE:
Believed “white men alone must manage the South
Opposed equal rights for African Americans
As State Governments were restored… Confederates recently pardoned
quickly passed laws severely restricting African Americans newly found freedom.
This allowed….

The Fourteenth Amendment
Ratifed July 1868, Congress passed the Fourteenth Amendment, which states:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States…are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein
they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges… of citizens of the United States… nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty,
or property without due process of the law …”

The Republican SouthDuring Radical Reconstruction, the Republican
Party was split into two groups who both wanted to prosper in the south. Carpetbaggers
Northern Republicans who moved South
Nickname came from arriving with a cheap suitcase made from carpet scraps.
Carpetbaggers were often depicted as greedy men seeking to grab power or make a fast buck.
Scalawags (“scrawny cattle”). Supported
Reconstruction Some were small
farmers who resented the planter class.
Many scalawags, but not all, were poor.

With the end of slavery, what would happen to southern
agriculture?
![Page 61: Reconstruction The rebuilding of the United States after the Civil War](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d975503460f94a8116f/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Crop-Lien and Cash Crops
Emphasis on Cash Crops: planters encouraged to grow cash crops, such as cotton, tobacco, corn. and sugar cane. The South had to
import much of its food.
Crop-Lien: a credit system-crops for housing, food, clothes, etc… Lien = loan
If crops failed then..IN DEBT
![Page 62: Reconstruction The rebuilding of the United States after the Civil War](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d975503460f94a8116f/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Sharecropping The most common new farming
arrangement Sharecropping family would farm a portion of
planter’s land (~10acres) In exchange, the sharecropper gave 1/3 of his
crop Planter usually provided housing, tools, mule,
seeds for another 1/3 of crop Planters owned the land so told them what to
plant….CASH CROPS After giving planter 1/3-2/3rds of his crop, planter
had little left to make income Lacked incentive Sharecroppers were stuck until paid off debt +
interest
![Page 63: Reconstruction The rebuilding of the United States after the Civil War](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d975503460f94a8116f/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Tenant farming
If a sharecropper could save enough money, he could then become a Tenant farmer!
Rented land and could grow what he wanted
![Page 64: Reconstruction The rebuilding of the United States after the Civil War](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d975503460f94a8116f/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
SHARECROPPING
Mainly Freedmen in South
Work on a portion of planter’s land
Keep 1/3-1/2 of yield
Provided food, shelter, clothing, seeds, and farm equipment at a price
TENANT FARMING
Mainly poor, white southerners
Rented land After paying
rent, kept the rest of his earnings
Chose which crops to plant
Chose when they wanted to work

2 impacts on South due to changes on farming
Focused on cash
crops so lack necessities and
therefore…
Had to import
goods from
north
![Page 66: Reconstruction The rebuilding of the United States after the Civil War](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d975503460f94a8116f/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Could the South be like the Industrialized North?
Southern cities did become more industrialized but never there bc One problem: The items were
shipped north to be made into finished products and sold.
Ex: Cotton: The value went from 713,000 in 1860 to 3mill in 1880
BUT the big profit went to the northern factories who dyed the fabric and sold the finished product.
southern factories handled the earlier, less profitable stages of manufacturing.

Funding Reconstruction The South’s
Need: Rebuilding the South’s infrastructure, the public property and services that a society uses, Roads, bridges,
canals, railroads, and telegraph lines
public school systems by 1872.
How to fulfill that need: Congress, private investors, and heavy taxes paid for Reconstruction. Spending in debt by $130mill. Much of this big
spending was lost to corruption. The corruption became so widespread that it even reached the White House.

Secret Societies
Form
![Page 69: Reconstruction The rebuilding of the United States after the Civil War](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d975503460f94a8116f/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Terrorism emergesThe Ku Klux Klan emerges
In 1866 a group of former Confederate soldiers of Pulaski, TN formed a secret society.
Named Ku Klux Klan after the Greek word “Klukos” meaning circle.
Dressed in masks and robes to symbolize the dead confederate soldiers who returned from the dead in search of their enemies of the south.
![Page 70: Reconstruction The rebuilding of the United States after the Civil War](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d975503460f94a8116f/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Ku Klux Klan
GOAL: to keep out “foreigners”
Opposed unions and supported prohibition “felt threatened by changes in
American society” In 1868 killed 1000 just from
Louisiana.

LYNCHING
Why was it done?
Used as a scare tactic Existence of a racist environment Permissive government
![Page 73: Reconstruction The rebuilding of the United States after the Civil War](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d975503460f94a8116f/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
LYNCHING
1880 – 1950 = 5,000 killed with 70% being Black1880 = 23 people every 2 ½ days
Heaviest in Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Lousiana and Arkansas – What do they all have in common?
Not restricted to South – for example:Zacharia Walker 1911 – Coatesville, PA

The Government responds to violence
THE FORCE ACTS A series of four acts passed by
Republican Reconstruction supporters May 31, 1870-75

Enforcement Act of 1870 One of the four Force Acts
What is said: banned the use of terror, force, or bribery to prevent people from voting bc of their race
![Page 76: Reconstruction The rebuilding of the United States after the Civil War](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d975503460f94a8116f/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Enforcement Act
Purpose: protected blacks' right to vote, hold office, serve on juries, and receive equal protection of laws.
How? Declare martial law, impose heavy penalties against terrorist groups, use military force to suppress the KKK

Reconstruction fades away Republican Rutherford B Hayes ran
against Dem Samuel J Tilden Tilden received majority of popular
votes It appeared he received majority of
electoral BUT 20 disputed electoral votes 20 disputed votes: bc federal troops
still in a few states so Republicans controlled voting

Compromise of 1877 North-South Compromise
Give Hayes the votes and Hayes will become president….. IF….
the North will pull federal troops out of South,
give confed general a seat in his cabinet,
support federal aid for economic and railroad development in the south,
allow southerners to handle race relations themselves.

Many people question whether or not
Reconstruction was a success or a failure? What were the successes?
What were the failures? Do you think Reconstruction was
more of a success or failure?

Lincoln’s plan
Johnson’s plan
* Denied pardons to officers and anyone who had killed African American war prisoners.
* Permitted each state to create a
new constitution after 10 percent of voters took an oath of allegiance.
* Offered pardons to Southerners who swore allegiance
* States could then hold elections and rejoin the Union.
* Each state could create a new constitution without Lincoln’s 10 percent allegiance requirement.
* States had to void secession, abolish slavery, and repudiate the Confederate debt.
Reconstruction Plans

Lincoln’s 10% Plan Pardons were issued to any Confederate
who would take an oath of loyalty to the US Pardons denied to high-ranking Confederate
officers and gov’t officials or southerners who had killed African American War prisoners
Once 10 % of 1860 eligible voters are pardoned states would then… Hold constitutional convention, to create a new
state constitution based on US Constitution Must include abolishing slavery
hold elections and resume participation in Union.
No former leaders of Confederacy or high ranking officers could be a part of the new government
*Once “readmitted”, Lincoln would protect their property, not their slaves!
![Page 90: Reconstruction The rebuilding of the United States after the Civil War](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d975503460f94a8116f/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
JOHNSON’s Restoration Plan Johnson’s plan would grant amnesty
to most Southerners once they swore loyalty to the Union High-ranking Confederates could be pardoned
only by appealing to the president…why?
Could hold constitutional conventions without Lincoln’s 10%-no requirement
States could hold elections and rejoin Union if… denounced secession And ratified the 13th amendment
(Abolished slavery in the US) AND repudiate(reject) Confederate
debt

The Reconstruction Act of 1867
