Reconstruction
Lincoln's Plan (10 Percent Plan)
A state could be readmitted into the Union once 10% of its voters swore an oath of allegiance
States also had to rewrite their Constitution
Did not pardon Southern government officials and military leaders
Offered to pardon Southern states in exchange for their promise to support the Union
Private property would be protected, excluding slavery
Was made to appeal to the Southerners to end the war quickly
Johnson's Plan
Similar to Lincoln's plan
Disenfranchised Confederate leaders and Confederate citizens that owned more than $20,000 in taxable property
He often pardoned Southerners and let a lot of Confederates back into office
Allowed the South to be readmitted without giving African Americans suffrage
Allowed the South to pass the Black Codes
Vetoed Freedman's Bureau Act and Civil Rights Act
Compromise of 1877
Ended the reconstruction era
Democrats allowed Hayes to become president with some concessions
Hayes had to stop supporting republicans in the South
Hayes had to support a Southern transcontinental railroad
Hayes removed troops from the South after his election
Radical Republicans' Plan
Congress took over reconstruction because Andrew Johnson's plan was too weak
Overrode Johnson's vetoes of both the Freedman's Bureau Act and the Civil Rights Act, which made all African Americans citizens, in an attempt to protect them from the black codes
Fear of the democrats repealing the acts led to a push for constitutional amendments
14th Amendment declared all people born or naturalized in the US citizens and required states to respect the rights of all citizens
Tenure of Office Act kept Johnson from removing people from office without approval
Johnson removed Edwin Stanton anyway and got impeached
