Reconstruction 5.2.1

    government body responsible for each. List at
    least two of the specific elements of each plan.

Answer to Reconstruction ORQ
  • The two plans for reconstructing the country
    following the civil war were proposed by
    President Andrew Johnson and by the Radical
    Republicans in Congress. Johnson being a
    southerner proposed a plan that allowed southern
    states to write their own constitutions and to
    rejoin the United States without giving African
    Americans the right to vote.

Continued
  • The Radical Republicans proposed a plan that
    would allow southern states back in if they
    granted all men in the United States the right to
    vote for all males and for the adoption of
    amendments to the constitution to provide
    equality for blacks socially, economically, and
    politically.

5
Continued
  • In the end Congresses plan was adopted because
    they were able to use their power to override the
    vetoes of Andrew Johnson. Their plan was not
    perfect and led to major problems for the South
    and even the people they were trying to protect
    African Americans.
  • Many issues arose from the Congressional plan
    that was adopted such as the emergence of the KKK
    which used terror to keep blacks from using their
    new rights.

6
Continued
  • Despite Congress using money to try to create a
    fair system for the blacks in the south a system
    of sharecropping emerged in which poor blacks did
    not own land but farmed it and gave a large
    portion of their crops to the landowners. This
    system kept the blacks in the south poor and far
    from equality.
