Reconstruction: Post-Civil War by Ian Gamble https://padlet.com/214742/clunt2immii4 en-us 2016-09-01 15:45:28 UTC 2016-09-07 01:28:29 UTC hello@padlet.com Diary Entry 214742 https://padlet.com/214742/clunt2immii4/wish/121816472 Dear Diary,
Today is my first day as a sharecropper. I´m going to get some seeds from the land owner and then start planting which is a lot better than being forced to pick crops. Something that I have never done will happen. I get to keep some of the crops for me to sell so I can provide food for my family. ]]> 2016-09-06 14:55:30 UTC https://padlet.com/214742/clunt2immii4/wish/121816472 Freedmen’s Bureau 214742 https://padlet.com/214742/clunt2immii4/wish/121819469   Advertisement:

The men in the photograph above appear to politicians or at the least involved in politics somehow. The 15th Amendment helped make these men’s achievements possible because it stated no one could be kept from voting because of “race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” .

  1.  The Military Reconstruction Act divided the Confederate states into 5 districts under military control.  
  2. The Military Reconstruction Act was enacted to enforce the right of voting privileges to African-American men,  and  to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment  which prevented states from denying rights and privileges to any U.S. citizen.
  3. President Johnson vetoed the plan, however Congress over-turned his veto. Southerners reacted to the law by forming hateful and violent groups.

The amount of successes accomplished during reconstruction took too long of time, almost 10 years. The political parties of the time (Radical Republicans) were not focused on compromise, but rather forcing their opinions on the other parties. The reaction from the south to the north's policies was the establishment of hate-groups (KKK). ]]> 2016-09-07 01:22:51 UTC https://padlet.com/214742/clunt2immii4/wish/121980659
