presidential reconstruction (1865-1867)

Andrew johnson’s plan consisted of allowing the gov to do reconciling but leaving reconstruction up to the states.

Johnson’s plan for reconstruction consisted of

rapid reconsiliation (didnt want to make the confederate states wait to rejoin to the union) and gave presidential pardon to those who commited treason and forced them to take an oath before re-entering. during 1865.

what were black codes

legislation that denied african americans the right to do certain things, were outlawed after the passing of the 14th amendment

13th amendment

supported by johnson, allowed for enslaved people to be emancipated and outlawed slavery

14th amendment

not supported by johnson, gave citizenship rights, birth rights, and equal protections in the law, passed in 1868

15th amendment

passed in 1870, cannot deny any citizens the right to vote, prevents future discriminatory laws to be passed,

the great compromise of 1877

all because of changes in leadership (radical repubs aged out), the apnic of 1873, and the supreme court narrowly interpreting the 14th and 15th amendments

1867 views of reconciliation from Johnson

heal the US with minimal reforms (just emancipation)

1867 views of reconciliation from the formerly enslaved

heal but require confederate states to wait a period and give full citizenship

other reforms of reconstruction

land grants; gave economic independence, terminated by johnson, unfinished legacy of the reconstruction period

interracial democracy

new types of laws enacted through the south; 1 regarding business (railroads), the other involving public education (construction of public schools)

to big business which dominated by 1910, leading to prices rising

deskilling of jobs, workers need to know less to operate machines which led to decrease in wages

consequences of immigration in 1890-1929

growth in cities, resulted in poor living conditions, increasing competition in the job market

concentration of wealth

think of millionaires row, top 1% held almost 45% of american wealth, had access to sanitation and electricity
