https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4 Which of these three plans do you think would have been the most effective at bringing the Southern states back into the Union? Why? Or would you mix and match the plans, taking parts of each to create a hybrid plan? Directions: 1) Post why you support one of the plans; 2) Comment on another student's post and provide substantive feedback. ("I agree b/c..." "I disagree b/c..." "I like how your plan..."

Also only 10% of the voters in a state had to agree to the terms in order to make it back into the union. The other two plans required much more work to make it back into the union. Lastly, Lincoln's plan with what to do about the Confederate leaders was the most generous. Since Lincoln's plan was both the easiest to get back into the union, and the kindest to the people they were admitting back in, the southerners would be more likely to want to enter the union under his plan.]]> 2021-05-20 13:23:34 UTC https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543709884 https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543710062 I think Andrew Johnson’s plan would help the nation come back together the most. I first ruled out the Radical Republicans’ plan because although it was the one most favorable to me, Southerners would be heavily against it and not want to rejoin  the Union as a result of it. I also quickly got rid of Lincoln’s plan because he had no thoughts on what to do with newly freed African Americans, and I believe this would raise a lot of issues and questions he wouldn't be able to answer or solve. Johnson’s plan was a good one because it supported the 13th amendment and had a good way of readmitting the states that had seceded back into the country. He was also a Tennessean, so Southerners could see him as one of them and be more inclined to reunite with the Union. Even though I don’t like his view on what to do with Freedmen, I believe his plan is the most effective one to lure Southerners back in.]]> 2021-05-20 13:23:36 UTC https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543710062 https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543710098 I believe that Lincolns plan will be the most effect to bring the nation back together. Lincolns plan will bring the nation back together quickly and in an orderly fashion. Unlike Johnson's plan, he plans to let people off to avoid further conflict. Interestingly Lincoln also has a plan to abolish slavery and readmit the south as part of the union. So, I believe that Lincoln's plan is the most effective because of his plan to abolish slavery, readmit the south and avoid further conflict by pardoning high ranking confederate leaders.]]> 2021-05-20 13:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543710098 https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543710808 I think that Andrew Johnson's plan would be the most effective at bringing the Southern states back into the Union. This plan allows all southerners who took the oath in Lincoln's plan to be pardoned, except for military officers. This plan also only allowed Southern states back into the Union once they ratified the 13th amendment, ensuring that the Southern states would follow federal law. Johnson also had a plan for the freed African Americans, unlike Lincoln, and he wasn't proposing that the South would be governed by the military, which many Southerners would dislike, making them not want to join the Union again.]]> 2021-05-20 13:23:47 UTC https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543710808 https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543710859 I think this plan would have been the most effective at bringing the Southern states back into the Union. It supposedly ends as fast as possible to allow minimal resistance from the South before they rejoin the Union, and he does it in a forgiving fashion that doesn't strictly oppose how Southerners think. The way he forgives them is by making them sign an oath of loyalty that makes them obey the law, with high ranking Confederate leaders and military officials temporarily being excluded from this. He makes it easy for the South emotionally to join the Union, and makes it easy for them physically, as he only requires 10% of the population of a state to swear an oath of loyalty and legally abolish slavery.]]> 2021-05-20 13:23:48 UTC https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543710859 1263263 https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543711700 I support a mixing of the Radical Republican’s plan and Abraham Lincoln's plan. I agree with Lincoln that to reunite the country southern states have to be readmitted to the Union (with conditions). I also think the 10 percent rule would be helpful to make sure southerners were ready to be citizens again. That said, I think one condition to their readmission should be the full granting of rights to African Americans (as stated in the Radical Republican’s plan).]]> 2021-05-20 13:23:58 UTC https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543711700 https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543712444 I believe that Lincoln's plan will be the most effective at bringing the Southern states back into the Union. His plan was generous and forgiving towards the Southerners, meaning that they would probably support Lincoln's plan the most. Johnson's Plan and the Radical Republican's Plan had "harsher" rules and would be less favorable towards Southerners. Lincoln's plan required only 10% of voters to swear on oath of allegiance, and he ignored calls to punish the South. They would most likely join the Union in the most effective way, under Lincoln's plan.]]> 2021-05-20 13:24:09 UTC https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543712444 https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543712894 I agree with Lincolns plans the most. He creates strong, reliable plan ]]> 2021-05-20 13:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543712894 https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543713943 I think that the radical republican’s plan would have been the most effective at bringing the South back into the Union. Although the intent was revenge, the plan would have made sure that the South was fully ready to completely accept the new laws. The South had just been at war with the Union mainly concerning the new laws that the Union had made, so using the military to make sure that no more states or civilians started rebelling again would have been effective. Also, with the military at hand, it would have been much easier to take the big steps like granting African Americans citizenship and the right to vote.

He only required ten percent of voters to swear an oath of allegiance and to abolish slavery in the Southern states in order for it to be admitted back into the union, and was the most forgiving. This would ensure that the reunification of Southern States into the union was quicker, more efficient, and most practical. While I personally prefer the radical Republican party's plan in terms of the rights they promised to give to African Americans, I feel that it would not be as effective in terms of bringing Southern states back into the Union.]]> 2021-05-20 13:24:37 UTC https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543714684 https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543714745 I think that the mixing of Lincoln's plan and the Radical Republicans plan would be most effective in reuniting the South and North, and helping African Americans move forward and gain rights. Lincoln is most driven by a want to bring back the South and move forward without pettiness and revenge, plus he has no plan to control the South with military or punish it's leader. However, I do not believe he is doing enough to help and protect the rights of the new free African Americans. The Radical Republican plan will ensure that they are assimilated into society, and given their full rights (including be able to vote).]]> 2021-05-20 13:24:38 UTC https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543714745 1276411 https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543716161 2021-05-20 13:24:56 UTC https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543716161 https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543716535 I think that Lincoln's plan is the most effective at bringing the southern states back to the union because it gives pardons to southerners willing to comply, and is focused on unifying the nation after the terrible war.  Although there are some concerns that are left unaddressed, right now, the thing that is needed the most is to get the south back into the union as quickly as possible, and other issues could be solved with time.]]> 2021-05-20 13:25:01 UTC https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543716535 https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543717269 I believe the Lincolns reconstruction plan was the best for my reasons. One of them is it will bring the south back into the union which is a huge point in reconstruction. Also he is offering forgiveness to all the southerners who fought in the war which will also help with the country divided. He also anted to do it as quick as possible so it could get back on it feet.]]> 2021-05-20 13:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543717269 https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543717487 I support Johnson's Plan the most because it is the perfect compromise between Northern and Southern views during a tense time right after the civil war. The radical republican's plan would not be doable and would anger the south, while Lincoln's plan would not give enough to newly freed African Americans. Although Johnson's plan could give them more, for that time in the country, a compromise was important in order to keep peace and restore the Union.]]> 2021-05-20 13:25:14 UTC https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543717487 https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543719413 I support Lincolns plan because it focuses on reunited the unions as fast as possible.

He focuses first on his people, citizens, and help them re-build nation. Second, he forgives the Southerners having them swear an oath to be loyal to the US. ]]> 2021-05-20 13:25:42 UTC https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543719690 127644 https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543721370 I think Lincoln's plan will be the most effective because it will be the easiest plan to get the South back into the Union while the others are more difficult. He only requires 10% of the vote to agree and he is being generous.]]> 2021-05-20 13:26:03 UTC https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543721370 https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543721723 I think that Lincoln’s plan is the best of the three. His main focus was to make the readmission of the Southern states back into the Union a quick process. He was very lenient about it and made it easy for the Southern states to rejoin the Union. He also did not punish the Confederate soldiers and leaders too heavily. He made Southerners swear an oath of loyalty to the US, and to obey the laws that stated the abolition of slavery. I think that this leniency with the forgiveness and admission of the Southern states would be important for the reconstruction, because it allows the Southern states to quickly rejoin the Union and for there to not be any distress or disagreement during the sensitive process.

This is because I agree with the first part of Lincoln's plan, where he said that he wanted it to happen as fast as possible and he was going to forgive the southerner's, but add the part of the Radical Republicans Plan of granting the African Americans the right to vote and to become citizens is also good. so mixing these two plans would be great.]]> 2021-05-20 13:27:01 UTC https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543725826 https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543739517 I think that mixing Lincoln and the Radical Republican's plan is a good idea due to the different interests that each of them provide. Lincoln's plan appeals to the south to enter the union again, without any use of violence or force. It only requires 10% of votes in the state, and is a gentle ease. The Radical Republican's plan would be useful to help African Americans gain citizenship, and given full rights like any other person. ]]> 2021-05-20 13:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543739517 https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543742986 I like Lincolns plan because it focuses on admitting the southern states as quickly as possible, his main focus is bringing the union back together.]]> 2021-05-20 13:30:35 UTC https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543742986 https://padlet.com/pylems/kwrzefjh3oazq4p4/wish/1543773103 I think Lincoln's plan was the best out of the three because it was a simple and quick way to get the Southern states to rejoin the Union.
