Congressional Reconstruction

Johnson's Reconstruction Plan: Johnson made his own reconstruction plan after Lincoln's. He fixed points such as:

1) The forgiveness of the Southerners who were loyal to the Union.

2) A state had the right to negate secession, to abolish slavery and renounce the Confederate debate.

3) States could join the Union.

Black Codes: Black codes are commands that cutdown freedmen's rights. Some Black Codes are:

1) Curfews: Predominately, black people could not gather after sunset.

2) Vagrancy laws: Freedmen with no employment could be beaten anytime.

3) Labor contracts: Freedmen had to sign covenants for employment. If they quit in the middle of their contract, they would lose all their money.

4) Land restriction: Freedmen would live in crops, unless that had enough money to rent homes and lands only in rural areas.

14th Amendment: Republicans were full of rage after the disobedience of the Southerners. Republicans blamed the President Johnson for return to power. The congress amended the Constitution to end Johnson's reconstruction plan. In 1868, the congress put in place a Civil Right Act that banned Black Codes which was later known as the 14th Amendment. Johnson objected to the idea and tried to convince the congress, but failed. The congress wouldn't listen to Johnson's answer since he had no more mandates to govern.

15th Amendment: The 15th Amendment is a Civil Right Act that assure all males that can vote. The Amendment was included for African Americans, too, which was a form of anti-racism. This showed that the U.S. was a little less racist.

Radical Reconstruction: Two groups were formed after the failure of Johnson's reconstruction plan, Radicals and Moderates. They both supported Republican spread through the South, the opposition to Black Codes and Johnson's reconstruction plan, but Moderates were less enthusiastic as the Radicals to in-store more civil rights for Black People.

CarpetBagger: A carpetbagger is a stereotype to categorize Northerners who moved to the Confederacy after the war. The name carpetbagger is taken from the Northerners habit of picking a few clothes and stuffing them in a carpetbag. They would then travel to the South for a new life.

Scalawag: A scalawag is an insult swearing a Republican after the Civil War. Originally comes from somewhere in the U.K., which means scrawny cattle.

The After war

As the Southerners went on in their lives, they didn't know what was going to happen to them. They were worthless, and had no thought future. the Confederate (South) dollar went down, as the rest of their economy. When they returned to their homes, they found the homes ravished and destroyed because of the war. The Southerners were really in a bad social position.

However, the freed slaves weren't that happy after all. They were free, and had rights, but most of them were homeless, and didn't have nutrition supply. They were in need of everything.

Technologically, the South were down. The shipping was destroyed with the war.

Effects of War- World War 2

The ESPRAT+G standards involved in World War 2 were;

Geography: After the war, Germany was divided into four quadrants, each controlled by the United States, Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union. These nations formed an alliance called the Allied Powers. 

Economy: The European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) was founded by 6 nations. Luxembourg, Netherlands, West Germany, France, Italy and Belgium. The objective of this populace was to gather all the steel and coal of the participating countries, and to strength the economy of each country. Unfortunately, this caused tensions between nations who were enemies at the war. The group grew, and later on changed it's name to the European Union.

Technology: Technology progressed massively during and after the war. The research for nuclear weapon design impacted the scientific community. Code breaking was involved. The Colossus project helped the war.

Society: The drawbacks of society were that women served the war and took the place of many men. Fortunately, this reduced in the following years. The Red Army (the soviets at the time) daily sexually abused of young girls and women at all age. This left more than 2,000,000 women and daughters raped after the war. Children that fought in the war serving Germany had no privileges after and during the war.

Politics: The league of nations did not see the war coming, there fore a band of nations formed a new international alliance called the United Nations (UN). The UN was more alive and active than the league of nations in topics such as fighting diseases and human aid in the world, but also was involved in diplomatic affairs.

The Ken Burns Video

The facts: 

Ken Burns proved that 2% of the American population died in the civil war. (600,000 carcasses) The carcasses were found in diverse locations. The war was fought in varied places of America. (10,000 places all around America) The economy was touched; money was harder to gain.

Veterans of the Civil War would be respected through the whole country. The oldest veteran who ever lived was around 115 years old.

Abraham Lincoln was recognized as the greatest President that the United States has ever had. He was a leading figure of the U.S. He was a great abolitionist, and was model for some abolitionists.

 Abolitionists weren’t a superior political party, but they had leading ideas in their party. The most famous female abolitionist was Harriet Tubman, who served a spy for the government, but also as a nurse, and saved many lives in the civil war.

 Nat Turner led the Nat Turner revolution after himself. Rebel slaves for equal rights leaded this revolution for all. These slaves killed 55 white people, the highest number of killed in the South.
