![Page 19: U.S. HISTORY 202, 1865-Present Reconstruction: Reuniting a Divided Nation](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052304/56813028550346895d95b566/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Freedom from Northern controlFreedom to put their world back the way it was
Many embraced the “Lost Cause,” a cult of mourning and romanticizing the Old South
Fought for local control and to maintain white supremacy

An agency of the army, the organization was set up to aid 4,000,000 African Americans and poor whites in the South
Distributed food, set up schools, and tried to settle blacks on land
An example in unprecedented government action to provide food, education, and economic opportunities for Americans

Both the Democrats and Republicans wanted to gain more political power through Reconstruction
4,000,000 free blacks could provide a boost to the Republican Party
![Page 24: U.S. HISTORY 202, 1865-Present Reconstruction: Reuniting a Divided Nation](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052304/56813028550346895d95b566/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

President Johnson's Reconstruction Plan (6 Minutes)
![Page 28: U.S. HISTORY 202, 1865-Present Reconstruction: Reuniting a Divided Nation](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052304/56813028550346895d95b566/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
By 1865, ALL the Southern states had formed new governments and met the requirements of either Lincoln’s or Johnson’s plan and were prepared to rejoin the Union, but the Radicals in Congress would not agree these terms.
Between 1866 and 1868 Johnson vetoed 15 Reconstruction bills presented by the Radical Republicans—more than all previous Presidents put together. Congress simply overrode his vetoes
Radical Republicans, under Leaders Thaddeus Stevens and Charles Sumner, passed a series of Reconstruction Acts used to reconstruct the South
![Page 29: U.S. HISTORY 202, 1865-Present Reconstruction: Reuniting a Divided Nation](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052304/56813028550346895d95b566/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
![Page 30: U.S. HISTORY 202, 1865-Present Reconstruction: Reuniting a Divided Nation](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052304/56813028550346895d95b566/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

1. Passed 14th Amendment, the first constitutional definition of citizenship.****
2. Introduced a very strict plan for readmitting the Southern states to the Union
3. Set up 5 military districts in the South with military governors
4. Wanted to give freedmen land 4. Passed the 15th Amendment—which
declared citizens could not be denied the right to vote based on “race, color, or previous condition of servitude.”
![Page 32: U.S. HISTORY 202, 1865-Present Reconstruction: Reuniting a Divided Nation](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052304/56813028550346895d95b566/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Stopped the Supreme Court from interfering with their plans for Reconstruction.
In Ex parte Milligan, the Supreme Court ruled that military tribunals were unconstitutional in places where civil courts were functioning. This interfered with the military governments Congress had set up in the South.
Congress threatened to limit the authority of the Court.
![Page 33: U.S. HISTORY 202, 1865-Present Reconstruction: Reuniting a Divided Nation](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052304/56813028550346895d95b566/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Congress passed the Tenure of Office Act which stripped the President of some of his power. He could not remove civil officials from office—even his own cabinet—without consulting Congress.
Johnson dismissed Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton.
In 1868 the House of Representatives brought impeachment charges against Johnson, but the Senate was ONE vote shy of a majority to convict They failed to remove Johnson from office, but he lost all political power.
By 1869-1870 all former states had been readmitted. Mississippi was the last in 1870.
![Page 34: U.S. HISTORY 202, 1865-Present Reconstruction: Reuniting a Divided Nation](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052304/56813028550346895d95b566/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What ‘s been going on in the South?
![Page 35: U.S. HISTORY 202, 1865-Present Reconstruction: Reuniting a Divided Nation](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052304/56813028550346895d95b566/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
For some time, the traditional view of Reconstruction in the South was one of failure and white subjugation to Republican carpetbaggers, scalawags, and black freedmen.
It is a view of government corruption and incompetence. (Gone With the Wind and Birth of a Nation have perpetuated this myth)
More recent research reveals a more accurate account of the period.
![Page 36: U.S. HISTORY 202, 1865-Present Reconstruction: Reuniting a Divided Nation](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052304/56813028550346895d95b566/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
African Americans gained access to the ballot box and elected offices, but they never dominated southern politics.
16 African Americans elected to Congress None was ever elected governor Blacks held 10-15% of state
offices Carpetbaggers and scalawags were not
particularly corrupt

Southern governments were no more corrupt than governments in the North
Taxes rose and debts increased because the Republican governments had to fund schools, rebuild infrastructure, and deal with debt after the war
