“Review of Reconstruction Revisited” 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. Foner writes that nowhere, was the transfer in black life more profound than in politics. The amazing political mobilization of the black community was one of the most striking

The Civil War (1861-1865) is no doubt one of the most defining moments in U.S. history. Tensions between the North and the South reached a critical point in 1860 when the Southern states began to secede from the Union and form the Confederate States of America. The four years that ensued from the Battle of Fort Sumter claimed more than 600,000 lives, marking the Civil War the bloodiest battles in American history. Following the Union’s victory, the seceded states had to be readmitted into the Union

Mr. Maynard APUSH Period 3 10 January 2010 Reconstruction: Eric Foner The Reconstruction time period, 1865 through 1877, was a complex time for America. The southern part of the nation was in need of governmental, economical, and social repair after losing the Civil War.

Johnson was not one of our best or brightest presidents, he did not care about his public appearance and he was

Civil War, the country was in a broken state. Over 620,000 soldiers had died and eleven states had succeeded from the Union. The country’s reconstruction was a very difficult process. President Lincoln and Johnson were both pressured to create a unified United States and were often battling against their counterparts- Congress. This tug-of- war between the Executive branch and Legislative branch creates a conflicting reconstruction era. Their plans are known as the Presidential Reconstruction plan

In Nicholas Lemann’s narrative, Redemption: The Last Battle of the Civil War, the Reconstruction era in the south is portrayed in a different perspective. In contrast to the glamourized displays one normally sees in textbooks or films, this story is as aggressive and gruesome as the war prior to it. The story illustrates how Reconstruction collapsed as a movement. One would assume it failed due to the lack of strength from the Republican Party; however it was caused by the hash intimidation and unnerving

Reconstruction in the South took place between the years 1865-1877, just after the Civil War, however many challenges were encountered which included opposition from the whites and Democrats who viewed reconstruction was going against their interests of owning and utilizing slaves.

The failure of Reconstruction Notes After the Civil war ended, the United States had to reintegrate both a formerly slave population and a formerly rebellious population back into the country. After Lincoln was assassinated, Andrew Johnson was guiding Reconstruction. He was a Southerner, he resented all the elites in the south who had snubbed him, and he was also a racist who didn’t think that blacks should have any role in Reconstruction.

Analysis of the Three Plans for Reconstruction The American Civil War, lasting from 1861-1865, was the most severe military conflict the country had seen; it involved the United States of America (the Union), and eleven secessionist Southern states (the Confederate States of America). The war was the upshot of decades worth of political, social, and economic conflict between the agricultural South, which produced mainly cash crops such as cotton, tobacco, and sugarcane, and the industrial North
