Reconstruction Re-building of the South after the Civil War Process of re-admitting Confederate states back into the United States

Lincoln’s Plan Pardon all Southerners who swear allegiance to the Union Confederate leaders and war criminals arrested for treason

Lincoln’s Plan Once 10% of voting population did so, the States could form new governments and send representatives to Congress

Lincoln Assassinated April 14, 1865 Lincoln is shot by John Wilkes Booth at Ford’s Theater

Lincoln Assassinated Lincoln dies next day Andrew Johnson assumes presidency

Andrew Johnson’s Plan Same as Lincoln’s Plan PLUS each former Confederate State had to ratify 13th Amendment

13th Amendment - ends slavery December 1865

Congress and Pres. Johnson clash over Reconstruction Plans

Radical Republicans’ Plan Leader Thaddeus Stevens Believed the States did secede Wanted to punish the Southern States for the rebellion

Radical Republicans’ Plan Congress had the constitutional power to readmit the States not the President Wanted all African Americans to be given full citizenship and voting rights

Southern Punishment Military Reconstruction Act of 1867 –Divided south into 5 military controlled districts

Southern Punishment Freedmen’s Bureau - provided food, medicine, and education to freed Blacks 14th Amendment – defined citizenship to include former slaves; banned discrimination

Impeachment Congress passes the Tenure of Office Act to control Johnson. He defies it and is impeached. He falls one vote short of being removed from office.
