Reconstruction Legislation & Amendments

After the Civil War The Civil War was the most costly war in American History in terms of total devastation. Consider Why... Americans were fighting Americans! At least 618,000 Americans died in the Civil War These casualties exceed the nation's loss in all its other wars, from the American Revolution to the Vietnam War.

Civil War Casualties Statistics from: www.civilwarhome.com/casualties.htm

One More Loss: On April 14, 1865 (5 days after Lee’s surrender), President Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, in Ford's Theatre (in Washington, D.C.)

Why did Booth kill Lincoln? John Wilkes Booth was a Southern sympathizer He strongly opposed the abolition of slavery in the United States and Lincoln's proposal to extend voting rights to recently emancipated slaves. After Booth murdered the President he cried out Sic Semper Tyrannis from the stage, which in Latin means “Thus ever for tyrants.”

17th President Andrew Johnson After Lincoln was killed Andrew Johnson became President.

The Civil War is over…What next? Immediately following the war, the southern states were in disorder. Not only were many towns and cities burned, looted and destroyed, but the southern states were still not part of the United States. Reconstruction aimed to integrate the southern states back into the Union while ensuring such states were ready to obey the new laws and measures resulting from the war. Many questions arose after the Civil War, and policies and bills passed during reconstruction aimed to answer them.

The destruction of the South– Virginia as an example 1860 1870 Number of Farms 86,468 73,849 Value of Farm Land $371.8 million $213 million Number of Factories 5,385 5,933 Value of Manufactured Products $50.7 million $38.4 million Richmond, the capital city of the Confederacy and an important port city, was unable to compete with new railroads after the war ended. Covered with battle sites, Virginia was one of the states most damaged by war; farm values fell from the fifth-highest in the nation to the 10th.
