Reconstruction Policies
After President Lincoln's assassination in April of 1865, President Andrew Johnson and the Radical
Republicans in Congress battled for control of Reconstruction. The battle included setting the
conditions for former Confederate states to be readmitted to the Union. President Johnson wanted
even milder conditions than those that had been proposed by Lincoln. The Radical Republicans
demanded policies that punished the South and ensured civil rights for African Americans.
By 1866, enough Radical Republicans had been elected to Congress to override Johnson's vetoes.
Over the next two years, Congress passed a series of Reconstruction Acts. All the former
Confederate states, except one, were placed under military control. These acts also required each
state to accept the 14th and 15th Amendments, which granted political and voting rights to African
American men. It was under these conditions that the remaining Confederate states returned to the
Union.
