Reconstruction
Lincoln's Plan
10% Plan: a state could be reintegrated into the Union when 10 percent of the 1860 vote count from that state had taken an oath of allegiance to the U.S. and pledged to abide by emancipation
the state was afforded the chance to form its own state government, a state legislature could write a new constitution but it also had to abolish slavery forever, if all processed Lincoln would recognize the reconstructed government
Tennessee, Louisiana, and Arkansas (went through procedures to form loyal state governments, applications for renewed participation in the Union were not approved by the Radical Republicans who dominated the Congress)
Freedman's Bureau: Congress created this as a welfare agency: providing food, shelter, and medical aid for those made destitute by the war. Greatest Success = in education.
Johnson's Plan
Johnson's Reconstruction Policy: provided disfranchisement of all former leaders and officeholders of the confederacy and confederates with more than $20,000 in taxable property.

Compromise of 1877
Leaders of 2 parties worked out an informal deal. Democrats would allow Hayes to become president if he would immediately end federal support for republicans in the South and support building Southern transcontinental railroad.
President Hayes fulfilled his part and promptly withdrew the last federal troops protecting African Americans and other republicans
End of federal military presence in the South was accompanied with the Supreme Court striking down all Reconstruction laws that protected blacks from discrimination.
