Lincoln’s 10% plan: It stated that when 10% of a state’s voters took a loyalty oath to the Union, the state could form a new government and then ban slaver.
Wade-Davis Bill: it stated that in order to rejoin the Union, a state had to have a majority of the state’s white males to swear loyalty to the Union. Only white loyal males could vote for a new gov’t. They had to ban slavery.
Johnson’s Restoration Plan: Johnson 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. He wanted to humiliate the leaders who he believed had tricked the South’s people into seceding. It was used to rebuild the South.
Radical Reconstruction: Reconstruction led by Radical Republicans; The First Reconstruction Act called for new governments in the 10 Southern states that didn’t ratify the 14th Amendment. It divided the Southern states into 5 military districts run by soldiers. African Americans could vote, and Confederate leaders from holding political office. The states had to ratify the 14th Amendment and submit new state constitutions to Congress for approval to rejoin the Union. A 2nd Reconstruction Act required military commanders to register voters and prepare for state constitutional conventions.
During reconstruction,
African Americans created their own schools. The Freemen’s Bureau also helped freed men. Northern women and African Americans taught at schools. Public schools were created for both races. Academies for African Americans became big. But few schools were integrated. Sharecropping replaced slavery.
South affected by Civil War: Their economy was destroyed. They lost their slaves, and the slaves became “sharecroppers”. They suffered losses (of lives) from the war. Some towns were burned down, and they had to be rebuilt.
Rights/freedoms from 13-15th Amendments: 13th banned slavery
14th: naturalized citizenship for people born in the US. Due process must be done before one’s rights may be taken.
15th: Males over 21 citizens can vote, regardless of color
Supreme Court rule in Plessy v. Ferguson; how did it affect US: In 1896, the Supreme Court upheld segregation laws for black sections on trains. This caused segregation to have support, and that lynching occurred, as African Americans were hung or killed by mobs. This ruling established “separate, but equal”, when segregation didn’t really make it equal.
Why and how did Reconstruction end: The Compromise of 1877 removed troops and Republican governments in the South; this led to the end of Reconstruction. The Compromise of 1877 occurred because the Democrats allowed Rutherford B. Hayes him to be president, but Democrats wanted political favors in return. The Compromise was the major political favor in return.

Andrew Johnson: he became president after Lincoln was assassinated. Johnson opposed equal rights for African Americans and whites. He was born in the South but supported the Norht. He wanted to humiliate the leaders who he believed had tricked the South’s people into seceding.
Rutherford B. Hayes: He was a Republican President that ended Reconstruction in 1877-1881. He won a political deal to become president, but he had to return the favor to the Democrats by going with the Compromise of 1877.
Ulysses S. Grant: He was the Civil War hero that was the Republican President elected in 1868; was president from 1869-1877
Edwin Stanton: He was the Secretary of War. Andrew Johnson removed Stanton from office illegally, which led to his (Johnson’s) impeachment.The wire on his jaw saved his life when Booth was killing Lincoln.
Bruce K. Blanche: He was an African American senator from Mississippi. He was a former escaped slave, and he taught blacks in Missouri.
Hiram Revels: He was an African American senator who was an ordained minister and had recruited blacks for the Union Army. He started a freedman’s school in Missouri and was a chaplain of a black regiment in Mississippi.
Thaddeus Stevens: He was a Radical Republican that declared that Southern institutions must be broken up and relaid, or all our blood and treasure have been spent in vain.
Ku Klux Klan: Secret society that used fear and violence to deny rights to freed men and women. They wear white sheets and hoods, and killed many African Americans. Democrats backed the Klan. The Klan lynched African Americans.

Amnesty: the granting of pardon to a large number of persons; protection from prosecution for an illegal act
Black codes: laws passed in the South just after the Civil War aimed at controlling freedmen and enabling plantation owners to exploit African American workers
Carpetbagger: northerner who moved to the south after the Civil War
Cash crop: farm crop raised to be sold for money
Corruption: dishonest or illegal actions
Freedmen: African Americans that became free after the Civil War; Freedman’s Bureau was set up to help them
Grandfather clause: a clause allowing individuals who didn’t pass the literacy test to vote if father/grandpa’s voted before Reconstruction; exception to law based on previous circumstances
Impeach: to formally charge a public official with misconduct in office
Integrate: to end separation of different races and bring into equal membership in society
Jim Crow laws: laws passed by Southern states that required African Americans and whites to be separated in almost every public place
Literacy test: a method used to prevent African Americans from voting by requiring prospective voters to read and write at a specified level.
Lynching: putting to death a person by the illegal action of a mob
Override: to overturn or defeat, as a bill proposed in Congress
Poll Tax: a tax of a fixed amount per person that had to be paid before the person could vote
Scalawags: name given by former Confederates to Southern whites who supported Republican Reconstruction of the South.
