Reconstruction aimed to bring the South back into the Union and secure freedom for former slaves. African Americans aspired to education, land ownership, and economic independence. The federal government's Reconstruction plans transitioned from President Johnson's lenient approach to the stricter Congressional Reconstruction under Radical Republicans. However, the failure of northern support and the rise of violent groups like the Ku Klux Klan undermined Reconstruction, allowing southern Democrats to regain power in most states by 1877.Civil war time line

The Civil War began in 1861 when southern slave holding states seceded from the Union to form the Confederate States of America. Major battles included Fort Sumter in 1861, Antietam in 1862, Gettysburg in 1863, and the war ended in 1865 with Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in rebel states in 1863 and the 13th Amendment abolished slavery nationwide in 1865. Reconstruction attempted to rebuild the South and protect freedmen's rights but ended with the Compromise of 1877 which removed federal troops from the South.Reconstruction 8 25[1]![Reconstruction 8 25[1]](https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/reconstruction8-251-101002211733-phpapp02-thumbnail.jpg?width=560&fit=bounds)

Reconstruction aimed to reunite the nation after the Civil War by bringing the Confederate states back into the Union, rebuilding the South, and protecting the rights of freed black people. There were differing views on how to achieve this, ranging from Lincoln's lenient 10% Plan to the Radical Republican desire to treat the South as conquered territory and empower freedmen. Ultimately, the North grew weary and compromise in 1877 restored home rule to the white South, effectively ending Congressional Reconstruction and protections for black civil rights.Lesson1 ppt reconstruction

The Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s aimed to end segregation and racial discrimination in the United States. Key leaders included Martin Luther King Jr., who advocated for nonviolent protest and civil disobedience, and Malcolm X, who initially advocated for black nationalism and self-defense before moderating his views. Major victories included the 1954 Brown v.

The Reconstruction Act of 1867 divided the Southern states into military districts headed by Union generals. It required the states to grant voting rights to African American men and ratify the 14th Amendment in order to be readmitted to the Union. Johnson vetoed the act but Congress overrode his veto. This set up a conflict between Johnson and the Radical Republicans that led to his impeachment for violating the Tenure of Office Act, though he was acquitted by one vote in the Senate trial. The election of 1868 was won by Ulysses S. Grant, signaling Republican control over Reconstruction.Reconstruction (1865-1877)

The Reconstruction Era after the Civil War aimed to resolve how the Confederate states would rejoin the Union and address the civil rights of newly freed slaves. Some key accomplishments included the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery, the 14th Amendment granting citizenship and equal protection under the law, and the 15th Amendment giving black men the right to vote. However, the Reconstruction Era was also met with resistance through black codes and efforts to strip black people of political and civil rights gained during Reconstruction.The Reconstruction AmendmentsAMENDMENT XIIIPassed by Congress .docx

The document discusses Realism and Reconstruction in post-Civil War America. Realism was a literary movement focused on accurate representations of everyday life that emerged in response to Romanticism. Reconstruction began in 1863 and aimed to reintegrate the Confederate states and define citizenship and voting rights, though it faced resistance. While progress was made in areas like education and technology, the Reconstruction era also saw the rise of white supremacist groups and a rollback of civil rights protections by the late 1800s.Reconstruction

Southern Reconstruction 1865-1877 aimed to rebuild the South after the Civil War and establish rights for freed slaves. Key events included new amendments that freed slaves and granted citizenship and equal protection under the law, but Black Codes denied rights. Reconstruction Acts established military rule and requirements for readmitting Confederate states. However, the Compromise of 1877 ended Reconstruction as federal troops withdrew from the South.Reconstruction

Reconstruction was the period after the Civil War where the federal government sought to repair the South and restore southern states to the Union. It involved plans for black rights, economic recovery, and political reconstruction. However, the withdrawal of federal troops led southern states to enact Jim Crow laws and use intimidation to deny black citizens their civil rights, effectively ending the goals of Reconstruction.Reconstruction

Reconstruction sought to rebuild the South after the Civil War and integrate freed black slaves into society. There were disagreements over how it should be controlled and how to balance white and black political power. Presidential Reconstruction under Johnson enfranchised ex-Confederates but was resisted by Radical Republicans in Congress who instituted military control over the South and protected black civil rights. Corruption scandals weakened Republican support, and the Compromise of 1877 ended Reconstruction by withdrawing federal troops from the South.Reconstruction

Reconstruction (1865-1877) aimed to rebuild the South after the Civil War and restore Southern states to the Union. It involved several plans and acts by Lincoln, Johnson, and Congress to repair infrastructure, establish the Freedmen's Bureau to aid former slaves, and define citizenship and voting rights through amendments to the Constitution. However, the withdrawal of federal troops from the South in 1877 after the Compromise effectively ended Congressional Reconstruction and left black southerners vulnerable to violence and intimidation through organizations like the Ku Klux Klan and oppressive policies like black codes and sharecropping.Section 2

It describes Johnson's lenient Reconstruction plan, the passage of the 13th and 14th Amendments, the imposition of Black Codes by Southern states, and Congress' increasing radicalization in response to violence against freedmen. This led Congress to take control of Reconstruction away from Johnson and impose military rule over the South until new state constitutions were ratified granting rights to African Americans.Unenforced Sections of the 14th Reconstruction Amendment: Public Debt and Ins...

The document provides an overview of Reconstruction in the United States following the Civil War. It discusses the key issues faced, such as how to rebuild the South and protect the rights of freed black people. Different approaches to Reconstruction are examined, from Lincoln's lenient 10% Plan to the more rigorous Radical Reconstruction under Congressional Republicans that established new governments in the South and protected civil rights through amendments and legislation. However, enforcement of these new rights proved difficult as white supremacist groups like the Ku Klux Klan resisted black political participation and violence increased.Reconstruction

After Lincoln's assassination in 1865, his successor Andrew Johnson took a more lenient approach to Reconstruction than Lincoln, allowing Confederate states to rejoin the Union with only 10% of voters swearing allegiance. In 1867, Congress passed the Reconstruction Act over Johnson's veto, dividing the South into military districts enforcing requirements that states ratify the 14th Amendment granting citizenship and voting rights to African Americans. While the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments abolished slavery and guaranteed rights of citizenship and suffrage to African Americans, Reconstruction ultimately failed to establish full equality or protect African Americans from oppression in the South.Reconstruction

Reconstruction began after the Civil War to reintegrate the Confederate states into the Union and establish new civil and political systems. President Lincoln's lenient 10% Plan was rejected by Radical Republicans as not doing enough to establish rights for freed slaves. The Radicals gained control of Congress and passed more sweeping laws and constitutional amendments over President Johnson's vetoes. However, the failure to fully enforce these laws and the Compromise of 1877, which ended the last federal troops' presence in the South, allowed Southern states to impose Jim Crow laws and effectively end the progress of Reconstruction.Reconstruction ppt

This document provides an overview of Reconstruction in the United States after the Civil War, with a focus on events in Arkansas. It describes the opposing views between moderates like Lincoln who wanted to quickly reunite the country, and Radical Republicans who wanted to impose harsh terms on the South and protect the rights of freedmen. It outlines key events in Arkansas like the Brooks-Baxter War and constitutional conventions that debated voting rights. Reconstruction aimed to rebuild the South and define civil rights, but ultimately failed and led to the disenfranchisement of black citizens in the South.Reconstruction

There were several plans proposed to reconstruct the Union and address the treatment of freed slaves after the Civil War. Lincoln favored quick readmission of Southern states with no protections for freedmen. Congress supported more radical plans guaranteeing black rights and excluding ex-Confederate leaders from power. Andrew Johnson initially followed Lincoln's lenient approach but Congress passed the 14th Amendment and Radical Reconstruction plans over Johnson's vetoes, dividing reconstruction along partisan lines and leading to Johnson's impeachment.Reconstruction (1)

After the Civil War, Reconstruction began the process of reintegrating the Confederate states back into the Union. However, there were disagreements between President Johnson and Congress over how to approach Reconstruction. Congress passed laws dividing the South into military districts overseen by Union generals to enforce requirements that states ratify amendments protecting the rights of freed slaves before rejoining the Union. These included the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery, the 14th Amendment granting citizenship and equal protection under the law, and the 15th Amendment granting black males the right to vote. However, the removal of federal troops from the South as part of the Compromise of 1877 allowed Southern states to enact Jim Crow laws that suppressed black civil rights.Unenforced Sections of the 14th Reconstruction Amendment: Public Debt and Ins...

Reggaeton originated in Panama as a genre called reggae en español. It then evolved into its own style in Puerto Rico after gradually spreading there, blending genres like reggae, dancehall, bomba, plena, salsa, merengue, Latin pop, cumbia, bachata, hip hop, R&B and electronica. While its predecessor began in Panama, reggaeton was exposed and popularized more in Puerto Rico, leading to misunderstandings about its origins. Caribbean migrants helped introduce the early sounds of reggaeton to Panama while working on the Panama Canal. Popular reggaeton artists include Daddy Yankee, Don Omar, Ivy Queen and Sean Paul.What is reggaeton
