Rewriting History:
Draft Your Own Reconstruction Plan
…it’s all about compromise!
The year is 1865: the Civil War has ended and no one is sure
how to proceed. The Radical Republicans cry for change, the
Moderate Republicans push for forgiveness. The Southern
Democrats are defeated and furious, and the Freedmen
demand the privileges and rights that come with freedom.
You will work with your peers to come up with a
Reconstruction Plan that describes how to structure American
society, economy and politics from now on. Each plan will
require Compromise to ensure all points of view are heard! (A
compromise is an agreement that is achieved after everyone
involved accepts less than what they wanted at first).
Each plan must address the demands of the 4 opposing
views at the start of Reconstruction: Moderate Republicans,
Radical Republicans, Southern Democrats, and the Freedmen
Directions:
Meet with your Delegation: Sit with your delegates and come up with at least 5
demands that your delegation would like to see in your final Reconstruction plans.
Your demands can address political, social or economic issues. Use the graphic
organizer to record your delegation’s demands.
Delegations = all the Radical Republicans together, all the Moderate Republicans together, etc.
Regroup to Draft Reconstruction Plan: Next, meet in your assigned convention
groups to draft your Reconstruction plan. Each member of your group represents
one of the four opposing points of view that existed at the end of the Civil War. As a
group, draft a plan that explains the way post-Civil War America should be run.
This is your chance to make a difference and IMPROVE the future!
Remember, not all of your original demands will be able to make the cut! Some of
your demands might actually contradict those of another delegate. To successfully
draft a plan, each delegate will have to make COMPROMISES by letting go of
some demands or even changing them a little, so that you can come up with a final
plan.
Publish Your Final Plan –
Before you begin, make sure to elect one group member that’s responsible
for drafting your plan in a Google Doc…do not share it with me. Once your
plan is final, open the shared Google Slides presentation, locate your
group’s slide number, cut and paste your plan onto your slide.
The link to your class’ shared presentation is on our website: bit.ly/newreconstructionplan
Presentation – Two members of each group will have ONE minute to
present the highlights of your plan…be ready!
Voting – After we review the plans, each student can vote for ONE plan
that offers the BEST chance of long-lasting peace. Use the Google Form
link on our class website.
Reflection – Nearpod Reflection
Next Class…Summative Reflection!
Draft your own Reconstruction plan!
