Reconstruction (1865-77) Essential Question: How did Reconstruction succeed and fail in restoring the U.S.? Objective: Describing the means by which Reconstruction attempted to solve postwar problems and evaluating its degree of success.

Obstacles to Reunion The country has just concluded its bloodiest war to date. 620,000 men have lost their lives. Question: What are some problems the country has to overcome to rebuild and renew itself for the future? Brainstorm five.

Pick One Obstacle… What does the country have to do to overcome this problem? Who should take the lead in solving it? How long will it take to fix it? What’s your timeline? On the board, write three steps that the country needs to take to overcome the obstacle.

Problems Tackled by Reconstruction Restoring Southern states to the Union Integrating 4 million newly freed slaves into the political, economic and social life of the country

Competing Factions Moderates: Lincoln, Johnson, middle-of-the-road Republicans Leniency Radical Republicans: President is not doing enough to destroy former slaveholders’ power Full citizenship for African Americans (14th Amendment) Voting rights (15th Amendment) Public services for African Americans and poor whites (Freedmen’s Bureau) Democrats: reactionary Southerners who want to redeem the South and limit African Americans’ freedoms

Reorganization of South by Radicals

Conflicting Goals of Southern Republicans Scalawags: white southerners who want to chip away at planter class’ power Carpetbaggers: northerners who moved south for financial or political gain African-Americans Seek to vote and hold office (Hiram Revels- first African American senator) Establish own institutions (schools, churches) Burdened by economic woes of sharecropping: system where landowners give farm workers land, seed and tools in return for a part of the crops they grow

How Were Carpetbaggers Portrayed?

The KKK and “Redemption” Klan’s goals: Destroy Republican Party End Reconstruction Aid former slaveowners Halt the progress of African-Americans Panic of 1873 and election of Rutherford B. Hayes bring an end to Reconstruction Southern Democrats “redeem” the South by rolling back gains made by African Americans Voting restrictions Jim Crow Laws (legalized segregation)

What problems remain unsolved by Reconstruction?
