RECONSTRUCTION
Lincoln's Plan
Wade-Davis Bill (1864)
-
Republicans objecting to the 10% support proposed a bill to increase it to 50% and allowed only Non-Confederates to vote for a state constitution.
Lincoln's Last Speech
-
In it, Lincoln agreed with giving African Americans the right to vote, and it suggested he was moving to a radical viewpoint.
-
-
Freedmen's Bureau
Created by Congress as the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands to provide welfare to the poor whites and blacks.
Tried to resettle blacks on confiscated land but Johnson gave the land back to landowners who were pardoned.
It also provided education for many. It built 3,000 schools for freed blacks, and thought 200,000 blacks to read and write.
Johnson's Road
He also stopped black resettlement of confiscated land by the Freedman's Bureau and instead gave the land back to their owners.
He also did little to stop the implementation of Black Codes and so he was hated by the Radical Republicans.
Provided a plan similar to Lincoln's 10% plan. It disenfranchised Confederate elites who owned property worth more than $20,000 from voting.

Compromise of 1877
Presidential candidate Rutherford B Hayes offered to remove US troops from the South if he became President which happened and ended the Reconstruction.
