- President Lincoln and Johnson's Reconstruction plans pardoned Southerners who took an oath of allegiance and allowed states back into the Union when 10% of voters did so, and they approved the 13th Amendment banning slavery.
- The Black Codes restricted freed slaves' behavior and the 13th Amendment made slavery illegal but not discrimination, outraging Southern supporters of slavery.
- The 14th Amendment granted citizenship and equal protection to freed slaves, while the 15th Amendment gave black men the right to vote, leading the KKK to form and intimidate Republican voters through violence and disguise.
The document discusses key issues surrounding Reconstruction after the Civil War, including how to reunite the South with the Union and integrate freed slaves into society. It compares the Reconstruction plans of Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson, with Lincoln favoring a moderate approach and Johnson opposing full legal rights for freedmen. Congress passed laws establishing military rule in the South and the Freedmen's Bureau to assist freed slaves. The amendments outlawing slavery and guaranteeing citizenship and voting rights passed. However, Reconstruction faced challenges like sharecropping, violence from groups like the Ku Klux Klan, and Black Codes restricting freedmen's rights, leading to mixed success in achieving full equality.
Lincoln, Congress, and Johnson each proposed different plans for Reconstruction after the Civil War. Lincoln's lenient 10% plan was rejected by Radical Republicans who wanted black suffrage added. The Wade-Davis Bill required an "iron clad" oath and constitutional conventions. Johnson largely followed Lincoln's plan but southern states passed discriminatory Black Codes. In response, Congress passed the 14th Amendment and the Radical Reconstruction plan of 1867 that established military rule and required black male suffrage. However, enforcement of equality was inadequate and the compromise of 1877 removed federal troops, ending the Reconstruction era.

The document summarizes the Reconstruction period after the American Civil War. It describes how the South was devastated after the war and needed to be rebuilt. Reconstruction involved reunifying the nation, establishing the Freedmen's Bureau to help former slaves, and readmitting Confederate states to the Union. However, Southern states passed Black Codes limiting black freedoms, and the Ku Klux Klan emerged targeting blacks and Republicans. Disagreements over Reconstruction policies led to the impeachment of President Johnson. Segregation and Jim Crow laws later enforced racial separation until being outlawed in the 1960s after the Civil Rights Movement.
Reconstruction (1865-1877) aimed to rebuild the South after the Civil War and restore Southern states to the Union. It involved several plans and acts by Lincoln, Johnson, and Congress to repair infrastructure, establish the Freedmen's Bureau to aid former slaves, and define citizenship and voting rights through amendments to the Constitution. However, the withdrawal of federal troops from the South in 1877 after the Compromise effectively ended Congressional Reconstruction and left black southerners vulnerable to violence and intimidation through organizations like the Ku Klux Klan and oppressive policies like black codes and sharecropping.

The Reconstruction Era followed the Civil War from 1867 to 1877. There were three main plans for rebuilding the southern states: Lincoln's Ten Percent Plan, Johnson's stricter plan, and the Radical Republican's Congressional Reconstruction Act of 1867, which divided the South into military districts requiring new state constitutions guaranteeing African American suffrage. However, the withdrawal of federal troops led to the imposition of Jim Crow laws segregating blacks and whites.
The Reconstruction of the South summarizes the period after the Civil War when the United States sought to reintegrate the Confederate states and protect the rights of freed slaves. It describes the competing plans of Lincoln, Johnson, and Radical Republicans to rebuild the South. Ultimately, Reconstruction ended in 1877 with the Compromise that withdrew federal troops and oversight from the South.
The document summarizes Reconstruction and changes in the United States after the Civil War. The North had economic problems with unemployed soldiers returning home while the South was financially and physically destroyed by the war. Over 4 million freed slaves had little opportunity for work or support. Congress took steps toward Reconstruction, including Lincoln's 10% plan and establishing the Freedmen's Bureau to help former slaves. However, the South passed "Black Codes" limiting black rights. Radical Republicans gained control and passed the 14th Amendment guaranteeing rights to all citizens. Vigilante groups like the KKK terrorized blacks and Reconstruction efforts faced challenges that led to a cycle of poverty and segregation in the South.
The Radical Republicans took control of Reconstruction after Lincoln's assassination. They established the Freedmen's Bureau to help former slaves and passed the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. However, white supremacist groups like the KKK used violence and intimidation. Rufus Bullock became governor of Georgia but unrest continued until military rule was restored. The Compromise of 1877 ended Reconstruction, leaving the South under Democratic control.
The document discusses several key events and issues related to the expansion of slavery in the United States between Missouri's application for statehood in 1819 and the secession of South Carolina in 1860. It summarizes the Missouri Compromise which admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state. It also discusses John C. Calhoun's support for nullification in response to the Tariff of Abominations and debates over popular sovereignty and the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Finally, it outlines the secession of South Carolina and other southern states after Lincoln's election on a platform opposing the expansion of slavery.
The document summarizes the Reconstruction era in the United States from 1866 to 1877. It discusses the economic and political state of the South after the Civil War, the phases of Reconstruction under different presidents and Congresses, efforts to define citizenship and rights for freed black people, and the rise of violent opposition groups like the Ku Klux Klan. It analyzes key people and events, such as the Freedmen's Bureau, Black Codes, impeachment of President Johnson, and the contested 1876 presidential election, and ultimately deems Reconstruction a failure that did not rehabilitate the South's economy or secure equal rights.
The document discusses Lincoln's Ten-Percent Plan for Reconstruction following the Civil War. It was a lenient plan that allowed Confederate states to be readmitted to the Union once 10% of their voters took an oath of loyalty. The plan aimed to quickly reunite the North and South. However, Radical Republicans opposed Lincoln's plan as too lenient and favored harsher treatment of the South. Tensions rose between Lincoln and Congress over Reconstruction plans until Lincoln's assassination in 1865.
Reconstruction began as the process of readmitting the southern states back into the Union after the Civil War from 1865-1877. The South's cities and factories were ruined after the war, leaving many people jobless and homeless with worthless Confederate money. Lincoln proposed a lenient Reconstruction plan that offered amnesty to Southerners who took an oath of loyalty, but Congress disagreed and proposed a stricter plan. The 13th Amendment outlawed slavery in 1865 but freed slaves were left poor, jobless and uneducated with nowhere to go. The Freedmen's Bureau was established by Congress to provide relief and schools for freed slaves. However, Lincoln was assassinated in 1865 and Vice President Andrew Johnson became President.
The document discusses the Reconstruction era in the United States from 1865 to 1877 following the Civil War. There were three main plans for reconstructing the South: Lincoln's plan called for Southern states to form new governments when 10% of voters took a loyalty oath; Johnson's plan was similar but stricter; and the Radical Republicans passed laws overseeing the military reconstruction of the South and protecting the rights of freed slaves. The Reconstruction era brought both successes like rebuilding the South and establishing public schools, but also failures as racial discrimination and violence increased.
The Civil War had devastating consequences for both the North and South. Over 620,000 soldiers lost their lives and thousands more were wounded. Slavery was abolished, but freed slaves had no means to support themselves. Southern cities, railroads, plantations and economy were destroyed. Racial tensions remained high as newly freed slaves faced violence. The Reconstruction era that followed sought to restore the Union and protect freedmen's rights, but white supremacy continued to dominate the South.
After the Civil War, Reconstruction began as the North sought to reform and rebuild the South between 1865-1877. The Republican party controlled Congress and passed amendments and laws aimed at establishing rights for freed slaves, but faced opposition from President Johnson and Southern Democrats seeking to preserve the pre-war social order. Despite these efforts, white supremacists used violence and intimidation tactics like the Black Codes and Ku Klux Klan to oppress freed blacks and roll back Reconstruction by the late 1870s.
The document summarizes the political fight over Reconstruction between President Johnson and the Radical Republicans in Congress. After the Civil War, President Johnson allowed Southern states to rejoin the Union with lenient plans that did not protect the rights of freed slaves. In response, Southern states passed Black Codes limiting freedoms. The Radical Republicans passed the 14th and 15th Amendments to establish rights for African Americans and divided the South into military districts overseen by the North. When Johnson opposed these plans and fired the Secretary of War, Congress impeached Johnson though he was acquitted by one vote. The 1868 election was won by Ulysses S. Grant who supported the Radical Republican reconstruction plans.
This document provides an overview of Reconstruction after the Civil War from 1865-1877. It describes Lincoln's plan for the readmission of Confederate states which was opposed by the Wade-Davis Bill proposing stricter terms. After Lincoln's assassination, his successor Andrew Johnson implemented a lenient Reconstruction plan that angered Republicans by allowing the passage of Black Codes denying African American rights. This led to the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and proposals for the 14th Amendment, resulting in Johnson vetoing bills and a battle with Congress over civil rights.
The document provides an overview of Reconstruction in the United States following the Civil War. It discusses the challenges of emancipating slaves and reintegrating the Southern states back into the Union. Key topics included the Freedmen's Bureau efforts to help former slaves, conflicts over citizenship and civil rights for Black Americans, and the rise of racist groups like the Ku Klux Klan opposing Reconstruction policies. The summary also outlines the political battles between President Johnson and Congress over how to reconstruct the South and guarantee rights for freed slaves.
1) Reconstruction faced many challenges including the devastated economies and social structures of the southern states after the Civil War, as well as resistance to granting rights and citizenship to freed black slaves.
2) There were competing plans for how to reconstruct the South, including Lincoln's lenient 10% plan, the stricter Wade-Davis Bill, and Andrew Johnson's plan which initially disenfranchised wealthy southern landowners but later allowed them to retake power.
3) The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments were passed to grant rights to freed slaves, but southern states enacted Black Codes to maintain the racial hierarchy and labor force, and the Ku Kl
The document discusses the Reconstruction Era and the establishment of segregation in the United States after the Civil War. It describes how Black Codes were implemented after the Civil War to restrict the rights of African Americans, despite the 13th and 15th Amendments guaranteeing freedom and right to vote. It also explains how the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision established the "separate but equal" doctrine allowing racial segregation under Jim Crow laws, though facilities for black Americans were inferior.
Reconstruction aimed to rebuild the South after the Civil War and guarantee rights for freed slaves, but faced opposition. Radical Republicans sought to punish the South and protect freedmen, while Southerners and Moderate Republicans wanted reconciliation. The Reconstruction Amendments granted citizenship and voting rights to freedmen, but Southern states undermined these with Black Codes and later Jim Crow laws. Reconstruction ended in 1877 through a compromise that withdrew federal troops from the South in exchange for certifying the presidential election, ending Republican rule and protections for freedmen.
Reconstruction was the period after the Civil War where the federal government sought to reunite the country and guarantee rights to freed slaves. Key events included the ratification of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments abolishing slavery and guaranteeing citizenship and voting rights. However, southern states passed Black Codes and Jim Crow laws to restrict black rights. The Ku Klux Klan used violence against blacks. Reconstruction ended in 1877 when federal troops withdrew, leaving blacks without protection against discrimination and disenfranchisement.
The document discusses Reconstruction after the Civil War. It describes Reconstruction as the period from 1865-1877 when the Union readmitted the Confederate states and attempted to rebuild the South. Key events included the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments abolishing slavery and granting citizenship and voting rights to African Americans. The Reconstruction Acts and Enforcement Acts aimed to prevent racial discrimination, while the Civil Rights Act of 1875 prohibited discrimination in public services. The document outlines the legal changes enacted during Reconstruction to promote racial equality and prohibit discrimination.
After the Civil War, Reconstruction began the process of reintegrating the Confederate states back into the Union. However, there were disagreements between President Johnson and Congress over how to approach Reconstruction. Congress passed laws dividing the South into military districts overseen by Union generals to enforce requirements that states ratify amendments protecting the rights of freed slaves before rejoining the Union. These included the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery, the 14th Amendment granting citizenship and equal protection under the law, and the 15th Amendment granting black males the right to vote. However, the removal of federal troops from the South as part of the Compromise of 1877 allowed Southern states to enact Jim Crow laws that suppressed black civil rights.
After Lincoln's assassination in 1865, his successor Andrew Johnson took a more lenient approach to Reconstruction than Lincoln, allowing Confederate states to rejoin the Union with only 10% of voters swearing allegiance. In 1867, Congress passed the Reconstruction Act over Johnson's veto, dividing the South into military districts enforcing requirements that states ratify the 14th Amendment granting citizenship and voting rights to African Americans. While the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments abolished slavery and guaranteed rights of citizenship and suffrage to African Americans, Reconstruction ultimately failed to establish full equality or protect African Americans from oppression in the South.
The Reconstruction Era followed the Civil War from 1867 to 1877.

The document summarizes key events of Reconstruction, including:
1) Radical Republicans imposed stricter rules on the South compared to President Johnson's more lenient plan, placing the South under military rule and requiring new governments be formed that allowed African American men to vote.
2) Radical Republicans clashed with President Johnson over his firing of Stanton, leading to Johnson becoming the first president to be impeached.
3) The 15th Amendment was passed, prohibiting states from denying men the right to vote based on race, allowing African American men to vote. This led to over 600 being elected to state legislatures.
The document provides an overview of Reconstruction in the United States following the Civil War. It discusses the key issues faced, such as how to rebuild the South and protect the rights of freed black people. Different approaches to Reconstruction are examined, from Lincoln's lenient 10% Plan to the more rigorous Radical Reconstruction under Congressional Republicans that established new governments in the South and protected civil rights through amendments and legislation. However, enforcement of these new rights proved difficult as white supremacist groups like the Ku Klux Klan resisted black political participation and violence increased.
Reconstruction faced many challenges including how to rebuild the South after the Civil War, integrate freed black people, and determine the appropriate level of federal oversight. There were competing plans between Presidents Lincoln and Johnson and Congress, with Congress favoring more protections for black civil and voting rights through military occupation and constitutional amendments. However, the withdrawal of federal troops from the South in 1877 due to political deals marked the end of Reconstruction and freed southern states to impose Jim Crow laws discriminating against black citizens.
The document discusses Eric Foner's book "The Second Founding" about the Reconstruction Amendments to the US Constitution following the Civil War. It provides context on the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. The 13th abolished slavery, the 14th declared all persons born in the US are citizens entitled to equal protection under the law, and the 15th guaranteed all citizens the right to vote regardless of race.
1) The document outlines key issues facing Reconstruction, including how to bring the South back into the Union, rebuild after the Civil War, and protect freedmen's rights.
2) It describes President Lincoln's 10% Plan and the Wade-Davis Bill, which took a harder line on Reconstruction. Congress overrode Lincoln's veto of the bill.
3) After Lincoln's assassination, President Johnson took a more lenient approach, allowing former Confederate states to return with new constitutions. However, his policies led to the passage of Black Codes and growing Northern alarm over the South's actions.
Reconstruction aimed to reunite the nation after the Civil War and integrate freed slaves into society. There were differing views on how to achieve this, from Lincoln's lenient plan to the harsher Radical Republican approach of treating the South as conquered territory. Ultimately, the failure to fully enforce blacks' civil rights through federal legislation and troops combined with the national priority shift away from Reconstruction led to white Southerners regaining political control of former Confederate states by 1877.
The document discusses several key barriers to civil rights for Black Americans up to 1941, including legal impediments, lack of political influence, and the activities of the Ku Klux Klan. Legally, the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision upheld racial segregation. Politically, Southern states used measures like poll taxes and literacy tests to prevent most Black Americans from voting. Meanwhile, the resurgent Ku Klux Klan used intimidation and violence to oppress Black communities and deter civil rights efforts.
The Reconstruction Era after the Civil War aimed to resolve how the Confederate states would rejoin the Union and address the civil rights of newly freed slaves. Some key accomplishments included the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery, the 14th Amendment granting citizenship and equal protection under the law, and the 15th Amendment giving black men the right to vote. However, the Reconstruction Era was also met with resistance through black codes and efforts to strip black people of political and civil rights gained during Reconstruction.
The document discusses various barriers to civil rights for African Americans in the United States up until 1941, including legal impediments like Jim Crow laws, a lack of political influence due to black disenfranchisement, and violent activities by the Ku Klux Klan aimed at intimidating and terrorizing the black community. Legal segregation and the Supreme Court's endorsement of the "separate but equal" doctrine in Plessy v. Ferguson cemented racial discrimination into law. Widespread voter suppression tactics prevented most black Americans from participating in the political process.
Reconstruction was the period after the Civil War where the federal government sought to repair the South and restore southern states to the Union. It involved plans for black rights, economic recovery, and political reconstruction. However, the withdrawal of federal troops led southern states to enact Jim Crow laws and use intimidation to deny black citizens their civil rights, effectively ending the goals of Reconstruction.
The document discusses the challenges facing the post-Civil War South and the nation as a whole. Key issues included how to rebuild the devastated Southern states, ensure rights and prosperity for freed black Americans, and determine the process for reintegrating the Southern states back into the Union. There was also uncertainty around how to treat the defeated Confederate leadership. The document then examines the specific problems around emancipation, the establishment of the Freedmen's Bureau to aid freed slaves, and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan terrorist organization targeting blacks and their white allies.
The document summarizes the major challenges facing the post-Civil War United States: 1) Rebuilding the devastated South physically and socially after emancipation, 2) Determining the status and future of freed black Americans, 3) Reintegrating the seceded Southern states back into the Union, and 4) Deciding who would direct the Reconstruction process. It also discusses the problems faced by freed slaves in establishing their freedom, including confusion over what freedom meant and efforts to reunite families. The Freedmen's Bureau was established by Congress to provide assistance to freed slaves and refugees, focusing on education, but faced challenges in other areas. Reconstruction plans and policies divided moderates and radicals in Congress and caused clashes
The 15th Amendment granted African Americans the right to vote after the Civil War. However, Southern states were able to circumvent this through laws like literacy tests and poll taxes, effectively denying African Americans their voting rights. As part of the Compromise of 1877 that resolved the disputed 1876 presidential election, the federal government agreed to withdraw troops from the South and allow states to determine racial issues. This led Southern states to pass more discriminatory voting laws, disenfranchising African American and other minority voters through the early 1900s.

According to Bestor (1964), the founding constitution of the United States did not regard black people as human beings at all, so there was no way to talk about the right to vote at that time. During the American Civil War, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, announcing that all slaves were free. Before the Civil War, the Supreme Court in the Scott decision that caused a serious constitutional crisis had explained that the Constitution made black people the private property of slave owners and was inalienable (Bestor, 1964). Therefore, President Lincoln’s order to liberate slaves seems to violate the spirit of the Constitution. Interestingly, the Supreme Court Justices, who were with Lincoln in the capital, Washington, closed their eyes, and even Chief Justice Roger Tenny, who wrote the Scott’s verdict, did not boo and did not dare to defend constitution (Issacharoff, 1992).
According to Lawson (2003), President Lincoln’s announcement of this order was only symbolic at the time, and it was a propaganda campaign to disintegrate the enemy’s rear. After the end of the Civil War, Congress enacted Article 13 of the Constitutional Amendment in 1865, abolishing slavery, which really liberated slaves in law. In 1868, Article 14 of the Constitutional Amendment was enacted to give the identity of a black American citizen (In Robinson & In Sullivan, 1991). However, Article 14 of the amendment does not address racial discrimination in the right to vote. To this end, Congress passed the 15th amendment in 1870, which clearly states: “The Government of the United States or any state government may not refuse because of race, color, or previous service. Giving or depriving the citizens of the United States of the right to vote." (In Robinson & In Sullivan, 1991)…………….
So, in theory, black Americans won the right to vote in 1870. but it is not the truth. Under the US federal system, many functions of the government are the responsibility of the state government (In Robinson & In Sullivan, 1991). Before the introduction of the US Voting Rights Act in 1965, the specific provisions of the voting were formulated by the state governments, and the federal government could not intervene. Although the Constitution stipulates that the right to vote cannot be deprived of race and color, the states, especially the law-making institutions of the southern states, have changed the law to deprive blacks of the right to vote.
These laws that deprive black people of their right to vote are mainly based on prerequisite to voting. If you have to meet certain property requirements, pay taxes, pass cultural examinations, etc., you can register voters (In Robinson & In Sulliv.

Reconstruction sought to rebuild the South after the Civil War and integrate freed black slaves into society. There were disagreements over how it should be controlled and how to balance white and black political power. Presidential Reconstruction under Johnson enfranchised ex-Confederates but was resisted by Radical Republicans in Congress who instituted military control over the South and protected black civil rights. Corruption scandals weakened Republican support, and the Compromise of 1877 ended Reconstruction by withdrawing federal troops from the South.
The document provides information about ancient Egypt and its reliance on the Nile River. It describes how the Nile flooded annually, depositing rich soil that allowed for agriculture. It then discusses Egypt's political history, describing the three major time periods of ancient Egypt (Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms) and the dynasties of rulers that characterized each period. Important figures like King Tut, Hatshepsut, and Thutmose III are also summarized. The document also briefly outlines aspects of ancient Egyptian religion, culture, and hieroglyphic writing system.
The executive branch carries out laws made by Congress and is led by the president. It has three parts: the Executive Office of the President, Cabinet, and independent agencies. The president has seven roles as chief of state, chief executive, chief diplomat, commander-in-chief, chief legislator, chief of party, and chief of the economy. These roles include enforcing laws, making foreign policy decisions, leading the military, influencing Congress, helping their political party, and managing the nation's economy. The Electoral College officially elects the president based on the nationwide popular vote.
The document summarizes key events and participants in the American Revolutionary War from 1775 to 1783. It describes early battles such as Lexington and Concord, which marked the beginning of the war, as well as major battles like Bunker Hill, Saratoga, and Yorktown. It also discusses the roles of women, African Americans, and Native Americans in the conflict. Finally, it notes that the war ended in 1783 with the Treaty of Paris, in which Britain recognized American independence.
Early humans lived in Africa and spread across the world as hunters and gatherers over tens of thousands of years. They lived in bands of related families that worked together to collect plant foods like roots, nuts and fruits, and hunted animals for meat, tools, and clothing. As food sources became scarce, bands migrated to new locations or followed animal migrations. Around 35,000 years ago, an ice age caused sea levels to drop and land bridges to form, allowing human migration to different parts of the world where distinct cultures developed over time.
The document discusses the ancient civilizations that arose in the Fertile Crescent region of the Middle East, including Mesopotamia, Phoenicia, and Israel. Mesopotamia, based in modern Iraq, was home to early cities like Sumer, Babylon, and Akkad, and the Sumerians were among the first to develop irrigation for farming and invent the wheel. They also practiced polytheism. The Hammurabi Code and cuneiform writing system were other contributions from Mesopotamia. Phoenicia was an important sea power known for developing the first alphabet that became the basis for modern writing. Israelite religion centered around monotheism and the Ten Commandments,
The document discusses different types of governments. It defines a government as a ruling power with authority to make laws, resolve disputes, and make administrative decisions to provide order and stability. It then describes various forms of government including dictatorship/totalitarianism ruled by one person or group with absolute power; direct democracy where all citizens make laws; limited monarchy where the monarch holds ceremonial power; absolute monarchy ruled by an all-powerful monarch; representative democracy/republic where citizens elect representatives; oligarchy ruled by a few people; aristocracy ruled by the wealthy class; theocracy with laws based on religion; and anarchy with no rules or government.
The document discusses the concepts of checks and balances, separation of powers, and federalism in the US government. It explains that checks and balances prevents any one branch from becoming too powerful by giving each branch some control over the others. For example, if the president vetoes a bill, Congress can override the veto with a two-thirds vote. Separation of powers divides power among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. Federalism shares power between national and state governments across three levels: federal, state, and local.
The document outlines the four factors of production in economics: natural resources, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship. Natural resources are gifts from nature like land, water, animals, and minerals. Labor refers to the workforce, including anyone who works to produce goods and services. Capital consists of manufactured goods used to make other goods and services. Entrepreneurship involves individuals who start new businesses, introduce new products, or improve processes.
Economics is the study of how people use limited resources to satisfy their needs and wants. A society must answer three basic economic questions: what goods and services to produce, how to produce them, and who gets the goods and services. The U.S. has a free enterprise system that offers benefits like giving consumers free choice and encouraging competition to provide the best products at the lowest prices.
This document defines key concepts in geography. Geography is the study of people, environment and resources. Landforms are physical features made by nature like mountains, rivers and oceans. Location can be absolute using coordinates or relative describing one place in relation to another. Regions group areas with common features based on land, plants/animals or culture. Movement describes how people, goods and ideas move globally. Place examines the human and physical characteristics of a location.
The document discusses the definition and examination of history. It defines history as the collection and presentation of information about past events. There are two ways to examine historic events - through primary sources, which are original records created by eyewitnesses; and secondary sources, which are accounts created after the fact by non-witnesses. For a primary source to be considered legitimate, historians must authenticate it to ensure it is real and determine its reliability as an accurate account.
World War II began in Europe in September 1939 when Germany invaded Poland, and in Asia in 1937 when Japan invaded China. Key events included Germany and Italy forming the Axis alliance with Japan in 1940, Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 which brought the US into the war as an ally of Britain and the Soviet Union against the Axis powers, the successful Allied invasion of Normandy in 1944, and the US dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, leading Japan to surrender and end World War II.
This document discusses creating flipped classroom lessons using technology. It emphasizes writing learning objectives, assessing students, and creating lessons that present knowledge using a variety of technological resources. Some key recommendations include using video, screencasts, audio recordings, and supplemental materials. Students can access these lessons at home via computer, mobile devices, or libraries. The document also outlines steps for creating the first flipped classroom lesson using the Sophia.org platform.
Reconstruction ended in the late 1870s due to several factors: the loss of power by Radical Republicans in Congress, Northern fatigue with reforming the South, and a desire to return control of Southern governments to white Southerners. The disputed 1876 presidential election was resolved by a commission that awarded Rutherford B. Hayes the presidency in exchange for removing federal troops from the South. This withdrawal ended Reconstruction and allowed Southern states to restrict the rights of Black Americans by imposing poll taxes, literacy tests, and grandfather clauses to limit Black voting, along with segregation that was deemed legal under Plessy v. Ferguson.
President Lincoln was concerned with reconstructing and reuniting the South after the Civil War. His Ten Percent Plan would allow Southern states to form new governments once 10% of voters swore loyalty to the Union. The Wade-Davis Bill required greater loyalty oaths and denied voting rights to Confederate supporters. The Freedmen's Bureau was established to provide food, clothing, jobs, healthcare and schools to freed slaves. Lincoln was assassinated in 1865 by John Wilkes Booth and succeeded by Andrew Johnson. The 13th Amendment then banned slavery throughout the United States.
Women played important roles during the Civil War despite official bans on their enlistment. An estimated 400-650 women disguised themselves as men to serve as soldiers, with Sarah Edmonds achieving the rank of private under the alias Franklin Thompson in the Union army. Most women worked as nurses, caring for wounded soldiers and saving many lives, with Clara Barton becoming the most famous for later founding the American Red Cross. A few women like Rose Greenhow also served as spies, gathering and passing along intelligence for both the Union and Confederacy.
The document provides a timeline of key events during the American Civil War from 1860 to 1865, including Lincoln's election, southern states leaving the Union, the start of the war at Fort Sumter, the Emancipation Proclamation, General Sherman's strategy of total war, and the Confederacy's surrender at Appomattox. It also includes questions about these events.
The document discusses several key events that increased tensions between free and slave states and ultimately led to the Civil War. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 balanced the admission of free and slave states. Subsequent compromises and acts, like the Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act, failed to resolve conflicts over whether and where slavery would be allowed. The Dred Scott decision further inflamed tensions by denying citizenship to African Americans. After Lincoln's election in 1860 on an anti-slavery platform, several southern states seceded from the Union, leading to the outbreak of the Civil War when Confederate troops bombarded Fort Sumter in South Carolina in 1861.
The document summarizes various reform movements that emerged in the United States during the 1800s. It discusses Dorothea Dix's campaign for prison and mental institution reform, the Temperance movement to prohibit alcohol, and improvements in education supported by Horace Mann. The Abolitionist movement sought to end slavery and was advanced by figures like William Lloyd Garrison, the Grimke Sisters, Frederick Douglass, and Sojourner Truth. The Underground Railroad helped runaway slaves travel north. The women's rights movement grew out of abolitionism, with the Seneca Falls Convention demanding equality for women in work, schools, and churches.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.

2. BLACK CODES
The black codes were started immediately after
the American Civil War. Black codes were laws
that limited the rights of Blacks. The Black codes
were intended to keep Black people from gaining
political or economic power.
Black codes kept freedmen from voting, owning
guns or serving on juries (unless it involved other
Blacks)
3. BLACKS CODES
In some states Blacks could only work as
servants or farm laborers. Blacks had to
sign contracts for a year's work. If you did
not have a contract you could be arrested
and sentenced to work on a plantation.
4.
Apprentice laws provided for the “hiring out” of
orphans and other young dependents to whites,
who often turned out to be their former owners.
Some states limited the type of property blacks
could own, and in other states blacks were
excluded from certain businesses or from the
skilled trades. Legal marriage between blacks
was provided for, but interracial marriage was
prohibited.
5. CONGRESS REACTS TO BLACK
CODES BY PASSING 14TH & 15TH
AMENDMENTS
When riots and
violence broke across
the country against
Blacks, the Radical
Republicans vowed to

Reconstruction.
9. JOHNSON IS IMPEACHED!!
Johnson fired his
Secretary of State. He
did this because he
thought he was disloyal.
This made the Senate
vote for impeachment of
Johnson. Impeachment
involves someone who

He is accused of doing
something wrong.
10. JOHNSON IS FOUND NOT GUILTY
Congress tries the
case and decides if
the person is guilty. If
he is found guilty, he
loses his job.
Johnson was not
found guilty.
11. A NEW PRESIDENT IS ELECTED
Republicans
nominated the
Union's greatest war
hero, Ulysses S.
Grant. He became
President easily by
getting mostly all the
Black votes. 500,000
Black men voted in
the election.
