What Radical Republicans wanted for the South Radical Republicans-claimed South had committed crimes by enslaving ppl and starting the war Want to be harsh on the South Take land from Confederates’ and give farms to freedmen along with right to vote for African Am 10

Presidential Reconstruction Lincoln’s Plan 10% of voters swear oath of loyalty States must draft new constitutions that abolish slavery Restore political status of the southern states as quickly as possible Johnson’s Plan 50% of voters must swear oath of loyalty States must draft new constitutions that abolish slavery. Restore political status of the southern states as quickly as possible

Radical Reconstruction (Wade-Davis Bill and Reconstruction Acts of ) South divided into 5 military districts New state constitutions had to include a provision to allow African-American males to vote Prohibited any former Confederate officials from holding office President Johnson impeached for violating the Tenure of Office Act- found not guilty by one vote…Congress now controls the federal govenrment

Amendments Passed 13 th Amendment: – Slavery is abolished o Freedmen – free slaves 14 th Amendment: – Grants citizenship to all persons born in the U.S. 15 th Amendment: – Black Americans in all states could vote 13

Lives of Freedmen Freedmen’s Bureau – Provided food, clothing, schools, medical care to ex-slaves Black Codes – Southern states limit rights to freedmen o Blacks can’t own guns, serve on juries, curfews 14

Lives of Freedmen Segregation – Separating people of different races o Jim Crow Laws: Separate schools, churches, restaurants, trains, etc. o Plessy vs. Ferguson (1896)  Supreme Court allows segregation as long as separate facilities were equal (rare) 15

Is separate, equal? 16

Lives of Freedmen Property requirement to vote no longer needed thanks to A.Jackson, the common man, instead…. Poll Tax – Required Voters to pay fee to vote – Problem as ex-slaves had no money! 17

Lives of Freedmen Literacy Tests – Had to read and explain the Constitution Grandfather Clause – You could vote if your father or grandfather had voted in

Lives of Freedmen Sharecropping – Even land owners had no money to pay workers so they offered a place to live, seeds, and tools in return for a “share” of the crop Southern blacks worked the land, had to pay the owner with crops for supplies Sharecropper perpetually in debt 19

Impacts of Reconstruction Republicans dominate the government Solid South emerges (Democrat bloc) Civil rights are given, but not guaranteed Federal government is SUPREME over states Racial tensions surge as the nation SLOWLY rebuilds Corruption of the Grant administration filters throughout government Ku Klux Klan reign of terror begins

Results of Reconstruction for Freedmen Have some rights but limited 21
