  1. I took my US History 1 CLEP today and got a 70/80!!! Thank you so much for these videos!! I used the Khan Academy course then watched these videos on a loop until I took my test!

  2. Notes from the video to copy into your notes 🙂

    Ch. 22: Reconstruction

    Freedmen’s Bureau
    -Purpose: help former slaves and poor southern whites
    -Greatest success was in education
    -taught 200k AAs how to read
    -didn’t actually give them 40 acres and a mule

    Different Reconstruction Plans
    → Wartime reconstruction by Lincoln in 1863: Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction
    -Southern states could rejoin the Union once 10 percent of state voters pledged loyalty to Union
    -Must accept emancipation
    -Was a lenient policy
    → Wade-Davis plan
    -50 percent of voters needed an oath of allegiance
    -Tougher plan
    -Pocket vetoed by Lincoln

    President Andrew Johnson
    -Lincoln is assassinated
    -Democrat from Andrew Johnson
    -recognizes the 10 percent Lincoln governments
    -Disenfranchisement (loss of vote)
    -All states must ratify the 13th amendment
    -Ends up pardoning most of the former Confederate leaders
    -Southern planters reestablish political control of southern politics

    Key idea: Although slavery was abolished w/ the 13th amendment, sharecropping endured for several generations

    Southern Defiance: Black Codes
    -Purpose was to guarantee a stable labor supply
    -Southerners hoped to restore older system of race relations
    -AAs forced to sign labor contracts, couldn’t borrow money, rent land, or vote/serve on a jury
    -Many AAs became sharecroppers, which allowed people to use land in exchange for giving a percent of crop to the owner of the land

    President Johnson vs. Congress
    -By 1866 Northern Republicans in Congress are angry when former Southern Confederate officials are returned to office
    → Calls for a stricter version of reconstruction (Congressional Reconstruction)

    Congress Breaks w/ President
    -Congress prevents Southern Congressional delegates from co=ming back
    -Feb 1866: Johnson vetoed the Freedmen’s Bureau extension – Congress overturns
    -Republican controlled Congress passes Civil Rights Bill 1866:
    → gave citizenship to AAs and sought to get rid of the Black Codes
    → Johnson vetoes but is overturned

    Congress; How to prevent southern states from overturning laws passed during Reconstruction
    -Answer: 14th amendment
    → declared all persons born in the US are citizens (including blacks)
    → states must protect rights and provide “equal protection of the law” and “due process”
    → prevented former confederates from holding office
    → southern states would be punished if they didn’t allow blacks to vote

    Congressional Reconstruction
    -Republican controlled Congress now controls Reconstruction policy
    -reconstruction Act of 1867 divided the south into 5 military districts controlled by Union generals
    -Disenfranchised former confederates and invalidates state govts of Lincoln and Johnson
    -To be readmitted: required new constitutions, black suffrage, and ratification of 13th and 14th amendments

    Johnson Impeached
    -Congress passed the Tenure of Office Act in order to reduce presidential power and protect Republican Reconstruction cabinet members
    -Senate must approve any presidential dismissal of a cabinet official/general
    -Johnson removes Sec. of War Stanton in 1868
    -House impeaches President Johnson but he is not removed from office (one vote short)

    Reconstruction Amendments
    13th:abolished slavery
    14th: protection of the rights of citizens w/ equal protection of the laws and due process
    15th: universal male suffrage

    The south temporarily experienced social and political revolution

    Reconstruction Governments
    -New electorate in the South as a result of the 15th Amendment and Congressional Reconstruction
    -Republican coalition
    → AA male voters
    → Scalawags: cooperating southern whites
    → Carpetbaggers: Northerners who went south
    Some looking to profit and others wanted to help out
    Reconstruction Falls Apart
    -KKK established and resisted Reconstruction govt
    -Force Acts of 1870 and 1871 intended to stop resistance to Reconstruction, fed troops sent in to stop the KKK
    -Civil Rights Act of 1875: guaranteed equal access to public places, right to serve on juries
    → Rarely enforces and eventually overturned by the Supreme Court in 1883
    -By 1870s Congress and President Grant would be unwilling to use fed. Govt to monitor Southern society
