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.

SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES. WORKED TO

OPPORTUNITY DURING

HOW DID THE SOUTH
ATTEMPT TO PRESERVE PREWAR CULTURE?
SOCIALLY
BLACK CODES
LICENSING

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…

SLAVES.
SHARECROPPERS GAVE UP
2/5 OF THEIR CROPS TO
THE LAND OWNER…
