AFTER – EFFECTS OF THE CIVIL WAR

Postwar South:Black Southerners: 4 million freed slaves were

starting a new life. As slaves, they received food and shelter. Now, they found themselves homeless, unemployed, and starved.

Plantation Owners: Planters lost slave labor worth $3 billion. The government seized $100 million in land and cotton.

Poor White Southerners: high unemployment rate because of competition, many started moving West

RECONSTRUCTIONThe Confederates had been defeated and their

homes were completely destroyed. Charleston, SC was described as “a city of ruins, of

desolation, of empty houses, of widowed women, of rotting docks, of deserted warehouses, of weed wild gardens, of acres of pitiful barrenness.”

Between 1865 and 1877 the federal government implemented reconstruction which was a program to repair the damage to the South and restore southern states to the Union.

This program was extremely controversial.

RECONSTRUCTION DISCUSSION The debate over Reconstruction centered

around three issues: 1. Under what terms were the former

Confederate States to be readmitted to the Union, and who should establish those terms – Congress or the President?

2. Who should be punished for the rebellion and how?

3. What was to be done, if anything, to aid the newly freed slaves?

Page 14: BELLWORK

To learn about Reconstruction in the post-Civil War U.S., you are going to complete a station activity.

The class will be divided into three groups and each group will start at a different station.

At each station there is a different activity/lesson with regards to reconstruction: Lincoln vs. Johnson’s Reconstruction Plans Reconstruction Vocabulary – new laws & programs Emergence of the KKK

You will fill out the worksheet as you go – these are your notes so make sure everything is accurate. Also, make sure you read each station thoroughly – you are teaching yourself!

Do NOT move ahead….. Follow all directions!
