Americans and poor whites in the South

Carpetbaggers, who took

advantage of the South during

Reconstruction

Carpetbaggers

Northerners who moved South during

the Reconstruction

to take advantage of financial ($$) opportunities

They carried suitcases made of carpet.

7. Southern states adopted Black Codes to limit economic and physical freedom of former slaves

state governments that placed severe

restrictions on ownership of land and

ability of former slaves to move about

freely

How Did Reconstruction End?

• Ended in 1877 as a result of a compromise over the outcome of the election of 1876

Election of 1876• What conclusion can you make about the election

based upon the geographic results of the election?• Define popular vote.

– Which candidate had more popular votes?

• Define electoral vote.– Which candidate had more electoral votes?

• Why might the Southern states be angered by the election results?

• Both Hayes and Tilden believed that they had won the election; why did they come to such different conclusions?



• The election was tied, to break the tie . . . – Republican candidate (Hayes) won the election– In exchange, federal troops were removed from

the South What do you think will happen

to the rights that African Americans had gained?

Abraham Lincoln• His reconstruction plan

called for reconciliation (forgiveness)

• Preservation of the Union was more important than punishing the South

• Murdered by John Wilkes Booth in 1865

Robert E. Lee• Urged Southerners to

reconcile with the North at the end of the Civil War

• Became president of Washington College, which is now known as Washington & Lee University

Frederick Douglass
