Compromise of 1877

Reconstruction refers to the time period after the Civil War when the Union worked to reintegrate the Southern states that had seceded from the union, and were eventually defeated in the Civil War. The Reconstruction era occurred between 1865-1877 (American Destiny, pg. 409). There were various plans on how to approach and follow through with Reconstruction from President Lincoln’s, President Johnson’s, Congresses’, and the radicals’ plans on how to best execute the reintegration of the defeated

Many people resisted in the South, so it was difficult to carry out the new ideas of Reconstruction. Rebuilding the United States was not an easy task, only lasted 12 years ending in 1877. The Compromise of 1877 settled the intensely disputed 1876 U.S. presidential election, which was pulled federal troops out of state in

Another success of the Reconstruction was The Compromise of 1877; it was an informal deal that settled the presidential

very different views on how to reconstruct the Union. Reconstruction was, according to The Americans by McDougal Littell, “the period during which the United States began to rebuild after the Civil War” (Page 376). It started in 1865 and ended in 1877. The views on how Reconstruction should happen were very different for each of these people: Abraham Lincoln, the Radical Republicans, and Andrew Johnson. Abraham Lincoln had very unique views and ideas on how Reconstruction should be planned.

in society. Although in the beginning the government provided support for these new citizens, efforts toward reconstruction faded as the years passed. Those efforts faded to a point where they were all but nonexistent, and with the unwritten Compromise of 1877, what feeble efforts that were left of reconstruction were now all but dead. Politically, reconstruction failed to provide equality by pulling Federal troops from the South, allowing former Confederate officials and slave owners

Americans, including immigrants, were gaining opportunities to pursue their dreams, but some things happened that put an end to it, starting with the Election of 1876, where Republican Rutherford B. Hayes agreed to the Compromise of 1877 in order to become President. This compromise removed all federal troops from the South. The question is, who is to blame for ending the recovery period set forth for the United

Throughout the decades immediately following the civil war, federal reconstruction rebuilt and forever changed the nation. Federal reconstruction in the south ceased in 1877 due to an abundance of social and political factors, but not without creating an everlasting impact that forever changed the nation. In the social aspect the end of the civil war literally split the nation into two sections, the north and south, with completely different ideas concerning reconstruction. The issue of Slavery

This plan of reconstruction which was to bring reformation to the lives of Southern African Americans lasted from 1865-1877. This plan was brought by President Lincoln . Unfortunately he was shot and killed by a leader of a Confederate sympathizer, John Booth. As a result, President Jackson took office and was left in charge. The reconstruction was a great necessity

what changed in the United states of America was govennment regulations of Africans Americans, and what stayed the same was Southern Democrats aganist reconstruction, and quizi slavery. The government changed several laws between the time of 1861-1877 repealing the very fabric of the Unites States status quo socially and politically.This change was due to the 13th,14th,and 15th amendments

Another problem was that Confederates worked their way back into office. The main problem in Reconstruction was freeing slaves into society. This is justified by black codes, the creation of the KKK, rise of other white supremacy groups, and the Compromise of 1877, which led to the downfall of African American rights. This was the beginning of allowing racism into society. When Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, Andrew Johnson, created his own plan. This initially worked, but eventually, rich white
