6. 4) Return to Do Now Who was William Lloyd Garrison?
What is the author’s purpose?
Why does the author include the first paragraph in which he compares Garrison to Benjamin Franklin? How does this paragraph support his purpose?

7. Who was William Lloyd Garrison?
William Lloyd Garrison was one of the strongest voices for abolition during the 1800s. He was well known for his abolitionist newspaper, The Liberator.

8. What is the author’s purpose?
The author’s purpose is to bring awareness and recognition to the achievements and efforts of William Lloyd Garrison. By highlighting his challenges early in life, noting the other noble causes he fought for outside of abolition, and drawing comparisons to other revered Americans, Lauter effectively shines a light on Garrison’s greatness.

9. Why does the author include the first paragraph in which he compares Garrison to Benjamin Franklin?
The author includes the comparison to Benjamin Franklin because Franklin is a well-known historical figure, who is adored by many Americans. By pointing out that Garrison not only shared many of Franklin’s good qualities, but was actually more progressive, the author further accomplishes his purpose of adequately recognizing Garrison’s efforts and achievements.

10. 5) Unit 4- Reconstruction to WWI
Today we’re going to BRIEFLY look at the start of our next unit.
This unit will take us to the end of the semester.
It will cover the years of When we come back from Winter Break, we’ll spend 2nd semester on each decade from the 1920s-2010s.
There were many big questions to be answered during this time… such as?

11. Essential Questionsd
Now that slavery has been abolished, will America get closer to “All are created equal”?
With transportation methods and international communication improving, how will America interact with other countries?
America was a world power then, and still is today… What makes America so powerful?

12. Radical Reconstruction
Reconstruction refers to the period following the Civil War between 1865 and 1877.
When Lincoln was assassinated, Lincoln’s vice president, Andrew Johnson became the new president. Johnson was relatively sympathetic to Southern states.
Many people in Congress opposed Johnson. His biggest opponents were called Radical Republicans. “Radical” means extreme, and “radicals” typically want to see extreme changes in society. In the 1860s the Radical Republicans wanted to punish the South for the Civil War and supported equal rights for freedmen.
Who could be described as RADICAL today?

13. 2 Viewpoints

25. 3) THREE MAJOR PLANS FOR RECONSTRUCTION
Today we are going to talk about the three major plans for reconstruction. We hinted at this on Monday.
Abraham Lincoln
Andrew Johnson
Radical Republicans
Today you’ll take notes on three background slides before we go into group work on our documents. Slides won’t be explained much, you’ll need to discuss questions within your groups once we begin document work.

26. Abraham Lincoln’s Plan
Lincoln helped pass the 13th amendment, outlawing slavery EXCEPT as punishment for crimes
Lincoln favors being easy on Southern whites.
Lincoln’s 10% Plan-
The government will pardon all Confederates who would swear loyalty to the Union (but not if they had killed any black prisoners of war).
They would have to accept the end of slavery.
10% of the people in any Southern state had to swear their loyalty then they could come back to the Union.
Does NOT give voting rights to African-Americans.

27. Andrew Johnson’s Plan Lincoln is killed, Johnson is the new president.
Johnson’s plan was VERY similar to Lincoln’s, except for TWO large differences.
Johnson thought that ONLY whites should manage the south.
Johnson did NOT think that Southern whites should have a say in Congress. He did not want to be challenged by them.

28. Radical Republicans Plan
Radical Republicans controlled most of the Congress at the time… and who makes the laws? Congress 
They wanted to destroy the political power of the former slave owners and the Confederate officers.
One way to do that? Grant African-Americans the right to vote!
Set up operations to give the newly freed slaves food, shelter, hospitals, schools, etc.

29. So which plan won?
Johnson tried to VETO (or cancel) the Radical Republicans plan.
Radical Republicans then passed the 14th amendment, which gave ALL people born in the United States their citizenship!
Johnson told the Southern States to IGNORE IT!
Congress (Radical Republicans) then told the Southern states that if they wanted to be a part of the United States again that they MUST agree.

30. So- Were African-Americans free then?
Each group will receive a document and 3 questions.
Because we already have the background on the time period, each group will get 5 minutes to answer their assigned document’s questions, and then we’ll each share out about our document.
I’ll begin by modeling for Document A.

31. 4) Document Work

32. 5) EXIT TICKET
For your exit ticket today you will outline an ESSAY on the question:
Were African-Americans really free during reconstruction?

39. CHAPTER 6 and Extra Credit

40. Muckrakers
Muckrakers were people, many times journalists, who let the public know the about wrongdoings in politics and business.
Note: A muck rake is actually a rake that’s used to clean horse poop out of stables
So it came to mean someone who “digs” up dirt and exposes what’s being done to hurt the public…. Muckrakers were not popular with everyone. The president at the time, Theodore Roosevelt, was against people who did it just to make money by telling lies about honest people.

41. Muckrakers
But then in 1906, he read a book by a 28 year old man named Upton Sinclair, who was a poor Socialist. It is called, “The Jungle.” In it, he told the horrors done to animals and immigrant and American workers in the production of meat.

43. The Jungle
He was sickened after reading the advanced copy of “The Jungle.” President Roosevelt said, “The specific evils you point out shall, if their existence be proved, and if I have the power, be eradicated.”
Roosevelt sent his own agents to Chicago to investigate whether meat packing was as bad as Sinclair described. The conditions were actually a hundred times worse, the agents reported back.

44. Jungle Pictures

45. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
He then called upon Congress to pass a law establishing the Food and Drug Administration and, for the first time, setting up federal inspection standards for meat.
To this day, our hamburgers, chicken patties and other meats are safeguarded by the same law.

46. Switch to ELMO

47. Discussion What effect did the MUCKRAKERS have on the Labor Movement?
What effect did The Jungle have on the Labor Movement?
What effect did CHILD LABOR have on the Labor Movement?

48. Lesson Closing Good Work.
