The Rebuilding of
the South;
Restoring the
Southern states to
the Union.
Begins during the
war and ends with
the Compromise of
1877
The effects of the war…
THE UNION IS PRESERVED
SLAVERY IS ABOLISHED
½ MILLION SOLDIERS DIED
1/3 OF THE
MEN IN
THE SOUTH
SOUTHERN FARMS AND CITIES IN RUINS
B. FIGHTING FOR CONTROL
LINCOLN’S PLAN FOR RECONSTRUCTION:
10% PLAN
When:
when they
-10% swear allegiance
-a new state constitution is adopted,
-13th amendment ratified
it’s over…
Pardons for Confederates who swear
allegiance and accept the 13th amendment
RADICAL REPUBLICANS THOUGHT IT
WAS WAY TOO LENIENT!!
JOHNSON
REMOVED THE 10% REQUIREMENT,
PARDONED LEADERS OF THE
CONFEDERACY..
POWER STRUGGLE WITH CONGRESS!!
WHEN JOHNSON FIRES STANTON, THE
CONGRESS MOVES FOR IMPEACHMENT...
JOHNSON KEEPS HIS OFFICE BY ONE VOTE, BUT
THE POWER SHIFTS FROM THE PRESIDENCY TO
CONGRESS AND THE RADICAL REPUBLICANS…
U.S. Grant is elected in 1868 and then again in 1872.
FREEDMEN’S BUREAU
HELPED SET UP AFRICAN-AMERICAN
SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES. WORKED TO
LEGALIZE MARRIAGES.

TO THE SOUTH TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF
OPPORTUNITY DURING
RECONSTRUCTION
SCALAWAGS:
SOUTHERNERS WHO
SUPPPORTED
RECONSTRUCTION POLICIES
C. PRESERVING SOUTHERN CULTURE
HOW DID THE SOUTH
ATTEMPT TO PRESERVE PREWAR CULTURE?
SOCIALLY
BLACK CODES
LICENSING
VAGRANCY LAWS
JIM CROW LAWS
BLACK CODES RESTRICT
THE ACTIVITIES OF
FREED SLAVES
LICENSING KEEPS FREED SLAVES FROM OBTAINING
WORK OTHER THAN THAT DONE WHEN THEY WERE
SLAVES: AGRICULTURAL OR DOMESTIC ONLY
VAGRACY LAWS MAKE IT EASY TO ARREST AFRICANAMERICANS FOR DOING NOTHING…
JIM CROW LAWS KEEP THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND
CAUCASIAN RACES SEPARATE…
HOW DID THE SOUTH

SLAVES IN THE SAME PLACES THEY HAD WORKED AS
SLAVES.
SHARECROPPERS GAVE UP
2/5 OF THEIR CROPS TO
THE LAND OWNER…

ELECTION INTO THE HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES…
IN THE COMPROMISE OF 1877,

PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF THE WAR AND SACRIFICE
SCANDALS HAUNT THE GRANT ADMINISTRATION
CORRUPT SOUTHERN GOVERNMENTS
AMERICA HAS A SHORT ATTENTION SPAN
