-Johnson declared that the Confederate states that are left could be put in the Union again
-Each state has to withdraw its secession
-Swear allegiance to the Union
-And Ratify the 13th amendment(which abolished slavery)
2. 
One strength was that the plan satisfied white southerners because they Johnson supports states rights instead of the old strong central government. 
3. 
The Radicals were very unhappy because the plan, like Lincoln's, failed to help and give former slaves their needs,  such as land, voting rights, and protection from under the law.

- Lincoln wanted a lenient reconstruction policy. 
- "as quick and easy as possible"
- The gov. would pardon all Confederates who would swear allegiance to the Union
- After 10% swore this oath, the state could form a new state government and gain representation in congress

2. Strengths
- Would be quick
- The southern states could easily rejoin

3. Weaknesses
- There is no punishment
- 10% is not a lot, so states could still be against the Union

-Republicans and Radicals joined forces to override the president's thoughts on Civil Rights, and Freedmen's Bureau Acts
-The Civil Rights Act was the first legislation ever made over a president's veto.
-Then Drafted the Fourteenth Amendment, providing a constitutional basis for the Civil Rights Act.
-Which is the Amendment that makes all people born in America, a US citizen. Which entitles them to equal protection, life, liberty, and property. 
2.
Was that all humans born in the United States had the right to protection, life, liberty, and property without process of law. 
3.
But the amendment did not specifically give black people the rights to vote. But Southerners such as Johnson believed that it was unfair to make Confederate leaders force states to accept an amendment. ]]> 2019-11-01 18:01:56 UTC https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/405566632 21hessr1 https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/405568875 The plan which was most similar to the plan we had drafted was the Republican Congress plan. This plan was based around making sure everyone was equal. The 14th amendment was meant to make "all persons born or naturalized in the United States" citizens of the country. It provided protection for life, liberty, and property. Our plan, although worded differently, had the same idea to form a sense of equality, and then protect life, liberty, and property. ]]> 2019-11-01 18:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/405568875 21hessr1 https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/405569077 The plan which is most likely to be successful is Lincoln's plan. During this time there was a lot tension in the United States, and this is the plan of least resistance. Although it does not have dramatic change, it integrates the country back together smoothly. All the other plans would not be received to well from either side and could just cause more retaliation. ]]> 2019-11-01 18:05:34 UTC https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/405569077 21hessr1 https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/405581186 Offered medication aid and education services to freed slaves]]> 2019-11-01 18:25:21 UTC https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/405581186 21hessr1 https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/405581309 Granted Citizenship, and everyone's equal protection under the law including African Americans.]]> 2019-11-01 18:25:37 UTC https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/405581309 21hessr1 https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/405581347 This makes all people "born or naturalized" in the United States citizens]]> 2019-11-01 18:25:42 UTC https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/405581347 21hessr1 https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/405581403 Governments that were formed in the confederate states were abolished, they were divided into five military districts, and set up requirements for readmission to the Union]]> 2019-11-01 18:25:48 UTC https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/405581403 21hessr1 https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/405581444 No one can not vote because of "race, color, or previous condition of servitude. ]]> 2019-11-01 18:25:51 UTC https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/405581444 21hessr1 https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/405581490 All voting rights of African Americans were protected and gave the federal government power so they can enforce the fifteenth amendment]]> 2019-11-01 18:25:57 UTC https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/405581490 21hessr1 https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/405584393 2019-11-01 18:30:58 UTC https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/405584393 21hessr1 https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/407572292 2019-11-06 16:53:55 UTC https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/407572292 21hessr1 https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/407575885 During the reconstruction, although there was supposed to a sense of equality between races. There still a very intense segregation and negative attitude against other races. The Civil Rights Act, which gave everyone equal protected under the law, was supposed to level out the playing field for all races. This was a little successful, it did accomplish it's goal to the full extent. ]]> 2019-11-06 16:58:27 UTC https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/407575885 21gilir https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/407577885 Freed slaves were not able to receive the same education as other people. The Freedmen's Bureau Act was supposed to aid freed slaves by providing them with education services. These services, although better than nothing, did not contribute to an equal society, because the level of education was so far apart. ]]> 2019-11-06 17:01:01 UTC https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/407577885 21gilir https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/407579375 In the 15th amendment, no matter your race, or color could take away your right to vote.

In 1876 after the election, the Democrats in Congress approached the Republican president with a deal which took the federal troops out of the South. The American Yawp goes on to explain how "only the presence of federal troops in key southern cities prevented Reconstruction’s quick collapse", so when these troops were gone, the Reconstruction was struggling. The compromise also would lead to total democratic control of the South. African Americans at the time believed that this "compromise was seen as a betrayal", because the blacks in the South lost significant protection of their rights, because of the democratic control (Secondary Source #2). “Racial discrimination once again took center stage in American politics” all because of the deal made (Secondary Source #2).]]> 2019-11-08 17:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/408773219 21hessr1 https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/408781012 This failure highlights a number of problems governments run into when trying to find solutions.  One of the problems that the United States ran into during reconstruction was that they did not have enough money. Following the war there was a lot of damage and there was just simply not enough money to fix everything they could. This problem is still relevant in society today, if you look at a problem such a hunger, which could easy be solved with the distribution of food from other areas.  Another problem the United States ran into was that different political parties had different views on solutions. They struggles to pass certain laws because of the disagreements on Congress, so instead they make compromises or nothing gets done. The same things still happen today as people have contradicting views more than ever. ]]> 2019-11-08 17:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/21hessr1/sx1s4a7i71s8/wish/408781012
