and negatively4. Key Terms/People and other topics I
stressed in class
Reconstruction-1865-1877
The period of time after the Civil War in which the South had to be rebuilt and reorganized and brought back into the Union
President’s Lincoln and Johnson wanted to be easy on the South
That changed in the 1866 Congressional election
Republican Radical Reconstruction
Rebuilt south socially, politically and physically
Split South into five military district controlled by US Army
13th, 14th and 15th Amendments passedFreedmen’s Bureau set up to help former
slavesSouthern governments taken over by
“carpetbaggers” and “scalawags”These governments set up schools, raised
taxes, built railroads, helped ex-slaves, industrialized the South
Governments were accused of widespread corruption by southerners
Reconstruction 1865-1877
Reconstruction left very deep divisions between the northern states and southern states
Once the northern governments and military left the south, traditional rich, white racist males took back over
Jim Crow laws and segregation was established
African-Americans would not see the rights they should have had in 1865 until 1964
The End of Reconstruction-1877
The Compromise of 1877Unwritten deal between Northern and
Southern politicians that settled the heavily disputed 1876 U.S. presidential election
Republican Rutherford B. Hayes was awarded the White House over Democrat Samuel J. Tilden
Hayes would then remove the federal troops from the south ending Reconstruction
Election of 1876
Rutherford B. Hayes vs. Samuel J. Tilden
Tilden won the Popular vote and was leading electoral vote
Four states(with 20 electoral votes) had disputed results
