Megan: Our goal with our Reconstruction plans was to simply find a compromise between the Radical Republicans? plans and Johnson?s plans. We aimed to find the middle ground so that Reconstruction would not only be executed as efficiently as possible, but so that the Northerners would not feel like they fought the war in vain or for a lost cause. African Americans? rights would further be ensured and Southerners woud be able to let go of their former way of life.

reconstruction
Native white Southern politicians who joined the Republican party after the war and advocated the acceptance of and compliance with congressional Reconstruction were labeled scalawags. To most white Southerners, scalawags were an unprincipled group of traitorous opportunists who had deserted their countrymen and ingratiated themselves with the hated Radical Republicans for their own material gain. The devastation in the South after the war, coupled with the economic and social problems, created a need for progressive political action that the disenfranchised white population could not address.

Max Breitmayer AP US 1st Period January 4, 2011 Reconstruction: The Second Civil War Forty Acres and a Mule On January 16th, 1865 William Tecumseh Sherman, a Union war general, issued ?Special Orders, No. 15? which guaranteed families of freed slave who fought in his army forty acres of tillable land, as well a mule. This plan was implemented as Union traveled through Southern territories; thousands of freed slaves joined their cause in the battle against the Confederacy. In actuality this plan was set up to handle the problem of repaying the mass of refugees. At this point in American history, land was plentiful and the Army had a surplus of unneeded mules, which the freed slaves could use for agricultural needs.
