WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THE CIVIL WAR? RECONSTRUCTION

It’s Friday, a little after 10:00p.m. President Abraham Lincoln and his wife, Mary are enjoying a play. The President and his guests are seated in a box above the stage of Ford’s Theatre. Suddenly, the audience hears something like an explosion. Blue-colored smoke comes from the box where the President is seated. Mary Lincoln screams. President Lincoln has been shot. The bullet has entered the back of his head near his left ear. Lincoln is still breathing but unconscious. A young doctor comes forward to aid the President. After checking his wound, he says, “It is impossible for him to recover.”

THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN

RECONSTRUCTION After Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, Vice President Andrew Johnson became the president. He continued Lincoln’s plan of RECONSTRUCTING the United States after the Civil War

13 AMENDMENT What do you observe? What was the purpose of the 13 th amendment? What does this mean for African Americans?

14 AMENDMENT What do you observe? What was the purpose of the 14 th amendment? What does this mean for African Americans?

15 AMENDMENT What do you observe? What was the purpose of the 15 th amendment? What does this mean for African Americans?

FORMER SLAVES SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF RIGHTS… 13 th Amendment: slavery is abolished 14 th Amendment: former slaves are citizens 15 th Amendment: African American men have the right to vote Do you think former slaves were treated equally in the United States? By Northerners? By Southerners?

BLACK CODES These were laws passed in the south preventing former slaves from freedoms… Could not own land Could not own a gun Could not have certain jobs Could not be on a jury Draw what you think this looks like How do you think this made former slaves feel? ILLEGAL

AS A RESULT OF BLACK CODES BEING ILLEGAL … Congress passed new laws to protect former slaves Freedman’s Bureau: designed to help former slaves Built schools and hospitals for African Americans Hired teachers Helped former slaves find jobs

THIS SOUNDS GREAT…EVERYONE IS BEING TREATED EQUALLY… Segregation (the separation of blacks and whites) became common Not everyone agreed…

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

AS A RESULT OF TENSIONS BETWEEN BLACKS AND WHITES… Jim Crow Laws were passed: These laws enforced segregation (the separation of blacks and whites) Under these laws, blacks could not: Sit with white people on buses, trains, etc. Go to school with white people Share water fountains, bathrooms, etc. with white people Eat at certain restaurants What do you think this situation created?

WHAT DID SLAVES DO FOR WORK? What do they know how to do? Can they read? Are they educated? As a result, they had to do what they know…

FREED MEN… Had no money to purchase land Little opportunity to work for wages since little currency was available in the South Entered into agreements with land owners to trade labor for land in an arrangement known as Sharecropping Sharecropping - in exchange for the right to work the land, poor whites and African Americans would be given a share of the crop they grew.

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

SHARECROPPING Former slaves rented land from landowners To pay rent, they had to give most of their crops to the landowner. A LOT of money for the land owners Little to no money left for the former slave to by food, clothing, etc. for his family.

FREEDMAN’S BUREAU Established before the end of the Civil War Bureau was never effectively staffed or funded. First line of assistance to ALL people in the South in need What did it do? Provided food, clothing, medical care, education and protection from the hostile white environment in the South Helped freemen find jobs and protection of their labor contracts However, African Americans were not able to achieve economic independence because they were not allowed to have their own land to farm, so the Freedman’s Bureau helped to build relationships with worker-less plantation owners with African Americans to establish sharecropping The biggest contribution of the Bureau would be the establishment of over 1,000 schools throughout the South

DO YOU THINK THE FREEDMAN’S BUREAU HELPED? WHY OR WHY NOT?

ACQUIRING LAND… Most African Americans tried, but for the most part, it was _________________. General Sherman advocated distribution of “forty acres and a mule” to African American war refugees and some land was distributed during and shortly after the Civil War. Later, the federal Government returned most lands to white landowners that had been confiscated from the Confederates and given to freedman. Acquire – to get
