Objectives Explain how Republicans gained control of southern state governments. Discuss how freedmen adjusted to freedom and the South’s new economic system. Summarize efforts to limit African Americans’ rights and the federal government’s response.

Terms and People scalawag – a negative term for a southern white man who was invited to join the Republican Party after the war carpetbagger – a negative term for a northern white or black man who relocated to the South after the war segregation – separation of the races integration – combination of the races

Terms and People (continued) sharecropping – a system in which a landowner determined the crop and provided a worker with a place to live, seeds, tools, and a share of the harvest share-tenancy – similar to sharecropping, but the worker decided the crop and bought his own supplies tenant farming – a system in which a tenant paid cash rent to the landowner and was free to choose and manage his own crop

Terms and People (continued) Ku Klux Klan – secret organization founded during Reconstruction whose aim was to terrorize African Americans Enforcement Acts – 1870 and 1871 laws that made it a federal offense to interfere with a citizen’s right to vote

What were the immediate effects of Reconstruction? After the war, there was a struggle for political control. African Americans used the power of their vote to elect many representatives from mayors to the U.S. Senate. Newly freed African Americans explored new relationships to social, political and economic life. Groups like the Ku Klux Klan aimed to turn back their progress through violence and intimidation.

Thousands of black men exercised their new right to vote. During Reconstruction, Republicans gained control of southern state governments through the ballot box. Thousands of black men exercised their new right to vote. Many white southern men did not vote because they refused to sign the required loyalty oath to the Union. 6

scalawags carpetbaggers The Republican Party attracted people who sought change, challenge, and opportunities to make money in the South. scalawags White southern men who had been locked out of pre-war politics carpetbaggers White and black northerners who moved to the South to take advantage of the many post-war opportunities there Critics saw scalawags and carpetbaggers as opportunists making their fortune off of the South’s misfortune. 7

Public schools grew slowly in the South. Reconstruction state constitutions mandated the creation of the public school system. Public schools grew slowly in the South. The system was expensive as there needed to be two schools in every district due to segregation. Some Republicans proposed integration but the idea was generally unpopular. 8

Reconstruction also offered white and black women opportunities they did not find in the North. Single women carved out new roles for themselves, especially in the school system developed during Reconstruction.

The South had many problems that made success challenging. limited protection for African Americans racial violence rampant corruption many illiterate southerners poor quality medical care poor quality housing slower economic production than the North

Freedmen’s Bureau schools Freed African Americans sought to build new communities. moved to look for jobs as cooks, blacksmiths, or carpenters Cities worked at farming, lumbering, and re-building railroads Rural areas established black churches that became centers of their communities Black churches Freedmen’s Bureau schools sought education through the Freedmen’s Bureau schools The Freedmen’s Bureau attracted thousands of students to schools and colleges who realized the value of their education for voting and business. 11

New work arrangements for African American farmers developed. sharecropping most of the South’s black and white poor often continued to owe to landowner year after year share-tenancy farmer had more control able to save money tenant farming most independent arrangement farmer needed to have good money management skills

In reaction to Republican gains in the South, violent groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, organized to terrorize African Americans. The Klan burned black schools and churches. Racial violence grew everywhere after the Fifteenth Amendment was passed in 1869.

Congressional passing and use of the Enforcement Acts reduced racial violence. The acts made it federal crime to interfere with a citizen’s right to vote. Congress used the Enforcement Acts to indict Klansmen throughout the South. Although violence declined, racial hatred persisted. The Enforcement Acts, 1870, 1871 14
