Reconstruction
The conservative Southern party that opposed the changes of Reconstruction was known as the Whigs. While the party itself was defunct before the Civil War even began, the Whig ideology persisted in policymaking into Reconstruction.
An immediate effect of the changes implemented during Congressional Reconstruction was the significant expansion of civil rights for formerly enslaved individuals. The Reconstruction Acts led to the establishment of military districts in the South, allowing for greater federal oversight and the protection of African American voters. This period also saw the passage of the 14th and 15th Amendments, which granted citizenship and voting rights, respectively, to African Americans, fundamentally altering the political landscape in the South. However, these advancements faced significant backlash, leading to the rise of discriminatory practices and groups resistant to these changes.
The Republican plan for Reconstruction was called Radical Reconstruction because it implemented aggressive measures to reshape the South after the Civil War, focusing on civil rights and suffrage for freed slaves. It aimed to fundamentally transform Southern society by enforcing the Reconstruction Amendments and establishing military districts to oversee the process. This approach was viewed as radical by many, particularly those who opposed federal intervention and sought to maintain the pre-war social order. The term "radical" reflects the significant changes Republicans sought to achieve in the South's political and social landscape.
Scalawags were Southern whites who supported Reconstruction and the Republican Party after the Civil War. They played a crucial role in helping to implement Reconstruction policies, often advocating for civil rights and the integration of formerly enslaved people into society. Viewed as traitors by many in the South, scalawags often faced hostility and violence, but their involvement was essential in rebuilding the region and promoting political and social changes during that tumultuous period.

Focus shifted away from Reconstruction due to a combination of economic challenges, political fatigue, and the rise of white supremacist groups. As the North faced economic depression and the South struggled with rebuilding, public support for Reconstruction diminished. Additionally, the assassination of President Lincoln and the subsequent leadership changes led to a loss of momentum for enforcing civil rights. Ultimately, the Compromise of 1877 marked the end of Reconstruction, as political deals prioritized stability over racial equality.

Some positive effects of Reconstruction on Southern society included the establishment of public education systems, infrastructure development such as roads and railroads, and the granting of civil rights to newly freed slaves through the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. These changes helped to lay the foundation for a more inclusive society in the post-Civil War South.

During the Reconstruction years, significant positive changes occurred for Black Americans, including the abolition of slavery through the 13th Amendment, which legally freed millions. The 14th and 15th Amendments granted citizenship and voting rights, empowering Black men politically for the first time. Additionally, the establishment of schools and institutions for Black education fostered greater access to learning and opportunities. Despite facing backlash and systemic challenges, these advancements laid the groundwork for future civil rights movements.
