Map 23-1 p494

The Compromise that Ends Reconstruction Compromise of 1877: - Electoral Commission to decide the vote causes heated feelings and threat of political deadlock - Democrats agree to President Hayes winning the election as long as… - withdrawl of federal troops in the South - southern rail line (which was never done) - federal limitation on Civil Rights movement at the state level, despite the 14 th Amendment -S.C. ruled that civil rights applied to government actions, not peoples actions Reconstruction is over!

Southern “Redeemers” Reconstruction dead African Americans in the South were “friendless” - a new type of treatment characterized by fear Sharecropping: not much better than slavery itself. - Crop-lien system: credit given to poor farmers in return for financial gain from the crops they raised. - Permanent debt! - Jim Crow laws: separation of facilities - Voter intimidation - Plessy v. Ferguson : separate but equal is equal, segregation. - African American facilities were far from equal: Lynching to enforce this new order of the South

Class Struggle Difficult times for working class: - Economic depression and inflation - Wealthy remained wealthy - Attempts to unionize fail due to government support of big business (RR strike) AND tension amongst workers based on race/ethnicity Chinese harassed by the Irish - “Not a Chinamans’ chance” - jobs in RR and gold mining when over led to even more minimal jobs - little chance of family - Cheap labor was a concern to Irish: violence - Chinese Exclusion Act, 1882

Working Class Discontent People’s Party or “Populist” Party - West/South farmers - Platform included: - direct election of Senators - free and unlimited coinage of silver to meet inflation of gold - government ownership of: -RR, telegraph, telephone - shorter workday - immigration restrictions -Nationwide strikes erupt with support of the Populist Party incl. Homestead Strike (pay cuts) -Again, government ends the strike

Early Sign of What’s to Come Impact of the Populist Party: - one of the only third party to win electoral votes - Little support in the East - Race: attempts to bring African Americans into the Populist Party badly hurt African Americans long term. - Grandfather clause - Literacy tests
