Describe and state the historical significance of the following:
7. Freedmen's Bureau Initiated by President Abraham Lincoln and was intended to last for one year after the end of the Civil War. At the end of the war, the Bureau's main role was providing emergency food, housing, and medical aid to refugees, though it also helped reunite families. Later, it focused its work on helping the freedmen adjust to their conditions of freedom. Its main job was setting up work opportunities and supervising labor contracts.

8. Exodusters

Was a name given to African Americans who left the south[Kansas] in 1879 and 1880. After the end of Reconstruction, racial oppression and rumors of the reinstitution of slavery led many freedmen to seek a new place to live.

9. Wade-Davis Bill Was a bill proposed for the Reconstruction of the South written by two Radical Republicans, Senator Benjamin Wade of Ohio and Representative Henry Winter Davis of Maryland. In contrast to President Abraham Lincoln's more lenient Ten Percent Plan, the bill made re-admittance to the Union for former Confederate states contingent on a majority in each Southern state to take the Ironclad oath to the effect they had never in the past supported the Confederacy.

10. Percent Plan

11. moderate/radical Republicans

Radical Republicans were a loose faction of American politicians within the Republican Party from about 1854 (before the American Civil War) until the end of Reconstruction in 1877. They called themselves "radicals" and were opposed during the war by moderates and conservative factions led by Abraham Lincoln and after the war by self-described "conservatives" (in the South) and "Liberals" (in the North). Radicals strongly opposed slavery during the war and after the war distrusted ex-Confederates, demanding harsh policies for the former rebels, and emphasizing civil rights and voting rights for

    Congress was not happy Lincoln didn’t consult them. Responding negatively to Lincoln’s Reconstruction plan, Thaddeus Stevens advocated a “conquered province” theory, the South waged war as a foreign nation, thus, they should be treated like one, and Charles Sumner advanced a “state suicide” theory. In July 1864, Congress passed the Wade-Davis bill by which the process of readmission to the Union was to be harsh and slow. Lincoln pocket-vetoed the bill.…

    To reunite the South with the Union; Abraham Lincoln proposed his reconstruction plan also known as the 10th percent plan which required each Southern state to swear an oath of allegiance to the Union for readmission. Lincoln could make the South take an oath by passing the Emancipation Proclamation which freed slaves. The South’s economy would suffer if slaves weren’t working and that’s how the civil war would come to an end. However, even though the Emancipation proclamation was passed; Abraham Lincoln was killed, and the 10th percent plan wasn’t passed. Radical Republicans took Lincoln’s role but they were mad at the South, and blamed them for causing the Civil War. They wanted the South to pay and be punished. Secondly, the Radical Republicans needed to protect 4 million freed slaves. That is why Thaddeus Stevens was a leading advocate of redistributing land to former slaves as part of the reconstruction. As it is shown in the document “Thaddeus Stevens’s Land Confiscation Bill”, (1867) it mentions “on the 4th day of March A.D. 1861, or since, shall have distributed to them as follows, namely: to each male person who is the head of a family, forty acres; to each adult male, whether the head of a family or not, forty acres; to each widow who is the head of a family, forty acres” (351). This would allow black people to…

    The bureau’s main purpose was to consider the needs and provide relief to the millions of former slaves in the Southern, Confederate, parts of the United States. As many of the slaves made their transition from bondage to freedom, the bureau proved to be very helpful in making the transition much easier than if the slaves were left to transition alone. Many Northerners recognized the bureau and created many small organizations during the war. The Northerners influenced the United States Congress to aid the relief of freed slaves and take on the role of providing for their welfare in the early 1860s. The bureau was basically set in place to help previous slaves and now free people to acquire land, enfranchise them, and aid them towards the creating of their own…

    Reconstruction Goals

    • 4 Pages

    The Radical Republicans were led by Representative Thaddeus Stevens and Senator Charles Sumner. The radicals had three main goals. The first goal was to prevent the leaders of the Confederacy from returning to power after the war. The second goal was, they wanted the Republican Party to become a powerful institution in the South. The last goal was for the federal government to help African Americans achieve political equality by guaranteeing their right to vote in the South. The moderate Republicans believed Lincoln was being too lenient and that the radicals were going too far in their support for African American equality and voting rights. The compromise made between the moderate republicans and the radicals was the Wade-Davis Bill of 1864. This bill required the majority of the adult white men in a former Confederate state to take an oath of allegiance to the Union. Lincoln blocked the Wade-Davis Bill with a pocket veto. He sympathized with some of the radical goals but thought imposing a harsh peace on the South would be…

    The differences between the Republicans Plan and the two Presidents Plan, were very prominent, in fact they were quite opposite of the latter. The Radical Republicans felt the South needed to be punished for their actions, they believed the president was being far too lenient with the south. They didn’t want the south to be welcomed back into the union, at all. They believed any ex confederate or any supporters should be stripped of their votings rights as well as good protections for blacks.…

    President Johnson took a lenient approach and saw the achievement of the main war goals as realized in 1865, when each ex-rebel state repudiated secession and ratified the Thirteenth Amendment. Radical Republicans demanded proof that Confederate nationalism was dead and that the slaves were truly free. They came to the fore after the 1866 elections and undid much of Johnson's work. In 1872 the "Liberal Republicans" argued that the war goals had been achieved and that Reconstruction should end. They ran a presidential ticket in 1872 but were decisively defeated. In 1874, Democrats, primarily Southern, took control of Congress and opposed any more reconstruction. The Compromise of 1877 closed with a national consensus that the Civil War had finally…

    Towards the end of the Civil War the south deeply was in need of reconstruction. Before the war even ended, President Lincoln has already started to plan for reconstruction. His plan offered general amnesty to white southerners that would accept the abolition of slavery and pledge an oath of loyalty to the government. Suffrage was also granted to African Americans who were educated, owned property, or had served in the Union Army. For the southern states to readmit to the Union, they had to have 10 percent of the state’s total voters to take the oath of loyalty. Lincoln knew that his plan would be difficult to follow through with because of the Radical Republicans. The Radicals did not like the mildness of his plan. They wanted a stricter plan call the Wade-Davis Bill. In this Bill a governor was appointed to each…

    The Democrat and Republican parties of the late 1800’s had a parallel belief that it was giving a voice to its constituents. The Republicans and Democrats fought over political corruption, civil rights, reconstruction, immigration, and States’ rights. Republicans appealed to the Union, Border States, and African Americans. The South had to be rebuilt, but giving power to the Southern whites was not an option at any time. Lincoln’s 10% Reconstruction plan would swiftly allow seceded states back into the Union, but Congress did not agree with this plan and in response they came up with the Wade-Davis Bill. The passing of this bill revealed some conflicts between Congress and…
