3. Flipped Learning TASK:
1. Research the following about the 1872 election: 
-What happens in the run up to this election? 
-What impact does it have on the election process? 
-How does Grant win the election? 
-What does this election show us about the Republican Party during this time? 
2. Research and create a top trump card for each of the following groups: 
-Ku Klux Klan (1865) 
-Knights of the White Camellia (1867) 
-White League (1874) 
-Red Shirts (1875)

4. FLIPPED LEARNING 1872 Election
There are some key points that you should have drawn out, add anything you have missed in green pen:
The Republicans have clearly split as can be seen with the emergence of the Liberal Republicans (who also collapse shortly after the election).
The Liberal Republicans thought that the Grant administration and the President personally were fully corrupt. More important they thought that the goals of Reconstruction had been achieved. These goals were first the destruction of slavery and second the destruction of Confederate nationalism. With these goals achieved, they demanded that federal military troops be removed from the South, where they believed they were propping up allegedly corrupt Republican regimes.
The Democrats felt that they alone couldn’t beat Grant and so opted for a New Departure strategy, which rejected the anti-Reconstruction platform of They realized that to win the election they had to look forward and not try to re-fight the Civil War. However, Greeley was an outspoken critic of the Democrat Party and so this proved to be an uneasy alliance.
Homework: Watch the clip and add to your notes about the 1872 election in a green pen

5. FLIPPED LEARNING: 1872 Election
Grant won an easy re-election over Greeley by a margin of 56% to 44%. Grant garnered 286 electoral votes to what would have been 66 electoral votes for Greeley. However, Greeley died on November 29, 1872, just twenty-four days after the election and before any of the electors from the states Greeley won (Texas, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Maryland) could cast their votes. Most of Greeley’s electors cast their votes for other Democrats.
TASK: With the help of the map on page 211, how many states were Democrat at the time of the election? Why do you think the other states remained Republican?
SUMMARY:
What is clear by 1872 is that the Democrats are starting to regain control in some the Southern states. Even though Grant wins the election, the corruption and his Reconstruction already starting to become a problem in There are also other factors contributing to the downfall which we explored last lesson, such as violence.

6. Why was the South ‘redeemed’?
This lesson you will be looking at the different types of opposition to Radical Reconstruction, which involved a mixture of both political and violent resistance.
Good learning:
Understand the different types of resistance to Radical Reconstruction
Great learning:
Explain what impact the resistance had
Even better:
Evaluate how the South was able to be ‘redeemed’.

7. Redemption
Task 1: Before we start looking at redeemers, we need to know what is meant be the term ‘redemption’ in this context.
Think: For 1 minutes, you are going to silently brainstorm what you think ‘redemption’ means in this context.
Pair: Now, for another minute you will compare your findings with the person next to you, and add anything different what they have
Share: Now we will share your ideas, and see if together, we can work out what is meant by ‘redemption’ in this context.
In the context of southern politics, the term Redemption refers to the overthrow or defeat of Radical Republicans (white and black) by white Democrats, marking the end of the Reconstruction era in the South. In addition to its biblical allusions, the term also reflects the widely held belief among white southerners of a time that the Republican state regimes had been inefficient and corrupt. Also that the "Redeemers" who re-established white Democratic control of the state also restored effective and honest government.

9. Govt. attempts to stop them
A closer look: the KKK
Republican rule sparked a vigorous backlash as southern whites determined to recover political dominance. In 1866 paramilitary groups formed in most southern states to fight for white rights, the most notorious of which was the Ku Klux Klan.

10. What was the impact of white supremacist groups in the South
Firstly, we are going to watch a video on resistance to opposition
TASK: Colour code your notes into motivation for opposition, and methods of opposition
1000s of black people were injured or killed during this time
Reduced number of black votes
Made Grant introduce the forces act which became unpopular due to increased federal presence
It helped to stop progression for black people on a state level
Help the Democrats regain control of the South
The North no longer wanted to continue the fight to help black people – in their eyes it was over.
