Outline Of The Reconstruction Of Reconstruction

After the ending of the Civil War in 1865, slavery was, at last, formally abolished by the Thirteenth Amendment. Due to the freedom of these African Americans and the South’s ever-growing hatred towards this group, African Americans were left to suffer harsh discrimination and horrible conditions. Africans Americans were left without homes, education, jobs, or money. Reconstruction was the Radical Republicans’ attempt to try and bring the Confederate states back to normal and unite both the South and the North into a whole country once again. Reconstruction was also set to protect and help the newly freed African Americans assimilate to the new society and the foreign economy they were placed in. Conditions of the African Americans in

In 1877, the last federal troops from the South were withdrawn, allowing Republican administrations in those states to collapse, thus ending this period of Reconstruction. The Reconstruction era ended similar to as it began, embroiled in violence and controversy, as white southerners were unhappy with the progress, albeit very limited progress, African Americans had achieved during the Reconstruction period. Thus, white Southerners made it their goal to undermine the limited advancements African Americans had made, restore conservative white political power, and reinstitute the southern way of life built upon the age-old concepts of white supremacy and Black inferiority. So, by the 1890s white southerners had implemented a reign of terror,

After the Union’s victory in the Civil War during 1865, the era of Reconstruction began, an era in which the prospect of rebuilding the nation once again after the catastrophic effects of the war arose. During Reconstruction, African Americans were attempted to be integrated into American society, it was questioned on what terms Confederate states would be welcomed into the country, and the economy was meant to be fixed but all of this ultimately failed. Reconstruction was not successful in rebuilding the political, economical, and racial issues in the country post Civil War as there were even more racial and discriminatory issues, a damaged federal government, and an injured economy as well.

During the reconstruction period after the Civil War Radical Republicans fought for the freedpeople on a political level. They believed that the blacks deserved the same freedom and political rights as the whites. The Radicals resonated closest with President Lincoln and his views which were similar, but not limited to his words in his second inaugural address; “let us strive to finish the work...to bind up the nation’s wounds.”1 The radicals had some similar views to the moderate Republicans, however, they took it a step farther and wanted to completely uproot the current economic and social system; “but most considered the South a new frontier to be conquered culturally, politically, and economically.”2 Their main objectives were to advocate suffrage and voting rights along with the redistribution of land to the freed slaves.

The U.S. Civil War ended with America bruised as the nation needed a path to unify on all fronts. President Lincoln stood as figure who would begin the task of restoration and integrate freedom of all people into American society. Reconstruction would be a difficult problem to achieve, especially with the states of the South challenging the Emancipation and a nation licking deep wounds. President Lincoln wanted the nation to heal quickly, and his blueprint for Reconstruction would have provided the unity that the nation needed for healing an unity.

The initial task was aimed to test whether the motor could life a range of valued weights between 20 grams and 100 grams. Whilst testing the motors capacity to hold certain weights, an input and an output formula were used to calculate the efficiency of the motor. This was relative to the Voltage, Current, time, gravity, height (string off the ground) and the mass of the weights. Fortunately each of the three sets of four given weights was successfully lifted by the motor across a variation of times. This data also changed the readings on the voltmeters and ammeters. The results that were calculated along with the efficiencies were both successful and astounding to come across especially as the graphs trend above goes up and down, rather than in a single direction.

Considering the events and trends in the later years of Reconstruction, I would say the Southern Democratic white population were the “winners” and the African American people were the “losers”. Although, the country as a whole, in my opinion had “lost” because they had taken many steps backwards as a nation. To being, while Republicans were able to maintain control of the White House, they had lost much of their federal power over the South. Thus, without this power, African Americans would begin to see their rights again limited, the rise of segregation, and reduced freedom. Also, everything that the Republicans and African Americans had fought to gain, had now been drastically eliminated. On the other hand, the Southern Democratic population

In “Reconstruction Revisited”, Eric Foner reexamines the political, social, and economic experiences of black and white Americans in the aftermath of the Civil War. With the help of many historian works, Foner gives equal representation to both sides of the Reconstruction argument.

After the civil war there was a period from 1865 to 1877 called the reconstruction period. Which may be the reason african americans have the rights that they do today. The Reconstruction period was not all good, there were also laws that limited the rights of african americans called “jim crow laws”. Sharecropping also was developed which was practically a legal form of slavery. Over all American Reconstruction was a success due to all of the rights that african americans gained, but it didn't happen easily.

The article that I read shows us that even though slavery was ended by the 13th amendment, life still was not fair or equal for former slaves. Reconstruction tried to give slaves the same rights as whites had, but the whites that lived in the southern states didn’t want this to happen they did everything they could to make the slaves live bad by ignoring the federal laws and passing new state laws. The end of Civil War in 1865 should have meant freedom for the slaves. But reconstruction gave them fake freedom. The painting shows in many ways the hardships that the former slaves ended even after they were no longer consider property. That era was one of the darkest era after the reconstruction. KKK was the one that raised the violent action

During the rise of wage labor stunted working people in new ways. In 1824 the textile workers protested and the factory conditions and the mills model of Lowell faced large clashes in the 1830s. Another improved transportation system was essential for raw materials to be able to reach factories and to manufacture good that went to consumers. This improved transportation system was known as the market revolution.

Reconstruction what is it?What does it mean to reconstruct? Is it possible to reconstruct nowadays? Reconstruction started in 1865 and ended in 1877.Reconstruction took place mostly in the south. Reconstruction was created to help fix the problems in the new union after slavery, but sadly didn 't end well causing an all white government into power and failing the union. New economic,political and industrial growth was being made. New job opportunities were being made for the people and former black slaves who also were getting education and a chance of equal rights...or so they said. Many events were leading up to the end of reconstruction including the support declining, the lost faith in the acts, and the threats that the blacks,whites

Following the Civil War, the Reconstruction Era began. During this time, the southern part of the United States attempted a transformation directed by Congress from 1863 to 1877. Known for its successes and failures, the Reconstruction was a time of great pain and an infinite amount of questions. As well as many long term, short term, positive, negative, social, and political effects.

1. Some historians argue that Radical Reconstruction was not radical enough. After studying the events of the late 19th century, defend whether or not you agree with this position. What are the long-term implications?

I personally have never read a history book like this from taking 1301 or any history class in grade school, but they are very interesting once you read into them especially Reconstruction, Americas unfinished revolution is a very informative book if you know nothing about Reconstruction. Eric Foner the author of this book writes it so well, so it is easy to understand. A bit of background on Foner, he is a history professor at Columbia University, he is one of the country’s most prominent historians, He received a doctoral degree at Colombia under the supervision of Richard Hofstadter, He is one of the only two people to serve as president of three major professional organizations which are the organization of American historians, American historical association and the society of American historians. He is also one of not very many that have won the Bancroft and Pulitzer prizes in the same year. Fonner writes all his on the subjects such as political and social history, the history of the American race relations. He is best known for his books Free soil, Free labor, Free men: The Ideology of the republican party before the civil war. Eric Fonner is overall a great author, professor, and historian with probable a very long resume that has a lot of awards and honors. The thesis of his book on Reconstruction that I got was that Reconstruction never ended and we will see this with key points I bring up.
