The South is destroyed and Lincoln Needs to Rebuild The Civil War ended April 9, This rebuilding of the South was called Reconstruction. President Lincoln wanted to reunite the nation as quickly as possible. Lincoln’s Plan: Any southern state with at least 10% of its voters making a pledge to be loyal to the U.S. could be readmitted to the Union. The South also had to accept a ban on slavery.

Wade Davis Bill (Radical Republicans) The Wade–Davis Bill of 1864 was a bill proposed for the Reconstruction of the South written by two Radical Republicans, Senator Benjamin Wade of Ohio and Representative Henry Winter Davis of Maryland. In contrast to President Abraham Lincoln's more lenient Ten Percent Plan, the bill made re-admittance to the Union for former Confederate states contingent on a majority of the population in each Southern state to take the Ironclad Oath that saidthey had never in the past supported the Confederacy. The bill passed both houses of Congress on July 2, 1864, but was pocket vetoed by Lincoln and never took effect. The Radical Republicans were outraged that Lincoln did not sign the bill.

The Slaves Are Free With the ending of the war, the slaves were now free. The 13th Amendment to the Constitution was passed. The 13th Amendment made slavery illegal forever in the United States. To help the freed slaves The Freedmen’s Bureau was established in the South. The Freedmen’s Bureau established schools in the South. Laws against educating slaves during the Civil War meant that most ex-slaves did not know how to read and write.

Lincoln is assassinated Just six days after the war ended, on April 15, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated while watching a play at Ford’s Theater. Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, a Southerner who was angry at Lincoln. Booth and his co-conspirators were planning to kill Sec of State Seward and Vice- President Johnson. The other two were not murdered. Vice-President Andrew Johnson, a democrat, became president.

The Black Codes and Voting Rights The Black Codes were laws passed by Southern states that limited the freedom of African Americans. Black Codes forced African Americans to work on farms or as servants. They also prevented African Americans from owning guns, holding public meetings, or renting property in cities. Other laws were passed to keep blacks from voting: One law said former slaves had to pay a tax to vote. It was called a poll tax. Another law was passed that said a person could only vote if their grandfather had voted.

The 14th Amendment The 14th Amendment guaranteed citizenship to all people born or naturalized within the U.S. except for the Indians. It said that state governments could not “deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”

Radical Republicans The Black Codes angered many Republicans in Congress who felt the South was returning to its old ways. The Radical Republicans wanted the South to change more before they could be readmitted to the Union. They were angry at President Johnson for letting the South off so easy. Johnson was from the South so he wanted to bring the South back easily. Was Johnson following Lincoln’s plan or was he taking care of his “southern roots”?

Johnson and The Radical Republicans Congress was angry at President Johnson for not going along with their Reconstruction policies. As a result, Congress impeached Johnson. Technically, he was impeached for removing Edward Stanton from his secretary of war post The next step was to try the president in the Senate. By a single vote, Republicans failed to convict Johnson. 7 Republican Senators did not vote to convict. They felt the trial and presentation of evidence was onesided The only other time a president has been impeached was Bill Clinton. He was not removed either.

15th Amendment In 1870 the 15th Amendment became law. The 15th Amendment gave African American men the right to vote. Women’s rights activists were angry because the amendment did not also grant women the right to vote.

Ku Klux Klan and Jim Crow Laws In 1866 a group of white southerners created the Ku Klux Klan. The KKK was a secret society opposed to African Americans obtaining civil rights, particularly the right to vote. The KKK used violence and intimidation to frighten blacks. The South’s racist attitudes would not go quietly. The south created two societies. This was known as segregation--the legal separation of blacks and whites in public places Jim Crow Laws - laws passed in south that legally forced segregation

Plessy v. Ferguson 1896 The Supreme Court—controlled byruled segregation was legal in Plessy v. Ferguson. They said that segregation was fair as long as “separate-but-equal” facilities were provided for African Americans. In practice, the African American facilities were usually “separate-and-unequal.” It would take until the 1965, 100 years after the Civil War ended, for Jim Crow laws to be outlawed and blacks to finally realize legal equality in America.
