Reconstruction Presentation By: Lisa Peters, Giuliana Psyhogeos, and Daniel Harrington

Claim Following the end of the Civil War, Congress passed multiple acts to address the status of former slaves. Through these acts, African-Americans were granted many political rights that they had not held prior to the war. Despite having the potential to create social equality throughout the nation, many loopholes in the documents allowed many whites to continue discriminating against the freed slaves.

Civil Rights Act of Granted freed people/slaves citizenship of the United States -Provided them with full and completely equal benefits under the law -This empowered federal courts to defend and protect their rights from interference by the states 1 -Johnson vetoed this bill, but Congress overrode him

The Enforcement Act of Any United States citizen who is qualified to vote, is entitled to the right to vote at elections regardless of race. -Anyone who knowingly does not allow an eligible citizen the right to vote will be charged and tried for a misdemeanor. -If anyone attempted to conspire to violate this act or intimidate and threaten citizens with the intent to harm their rights listed in this act or the rights granted to them in the constitution, will be charged with a felony 2

Reconstruction Act of Divided into five military districts, military officials of the Confederacy were forbidden from state conventions 3 -All governments that were formed under Lincoln or Johnson plan were not recognized -Except Tennesee because they ratified the 14th amendment -Voters (including African Americans) voted to elect delegates so a constitution could be created and passed -States had to ratify 14th amendment and allow blacks to vote to be accepted into union and have representation 4
