Reconstruction 9/8/15-10/2/15
Reconstruction, in U.S. history, the period (1865–77) that followed the American Civil War and during which attempts were made to equalize the inequities of slavery and its political, social, and economic legacy and to solve the problems arising from the readmission to the Union of the 11 states that had seceded at or before the outbreak of war. Long portrayed by many historians as a time when vindictive Radical Republicans fastened African American supremacy upon the defeated Confederacy, Reconstruction has since the late 20th century been viewed more sympathetically as an experiment in interracial democracy. Reconstruction witnessed far-reaching changes in America’s political life. At the national level, new laws and constitutional amendments permanently altered the federal system and the definition of American citizenship. In the South, a politically mobilized African American community joined with white allies to bring the Republican Party to power, and with it a redefinition of the responsibilities of government.
The Executive Branch and the Congress had two very different ideas about rebuilding the nation. We will study, define, and analyze the different plans for mending the nation's wounds after the Civil War.
