What was reconstruction during the Civil War?

"Reconstruction" referred to restoring the states that had seceded to their proper place in the Union. Various reconstruction plans were proposed and debated during and after the war. The discussion began almost immediately after secession. But only a little actual 'reconstruction' was attempted during the war - in places re-taken early in the war (esp in Louisiana).The period of "Reconstruction" -- what the term is most often used to refer to -- is the time after the war, when Congress & the President were forced to deal with this issue for all the former Confederate states. It is generally broken into two stages. The first, "Presidential reconstruction" under Andrew Johnson, was extremely lenient, demanding very little of these states beyond repudiating their secession and war debts, and accepting the 13th amendment - ending slavery (this was Andrew Johnson's final approach). But "Radical Republicans" in Congress, were very unhappy with the failure of Johnson's plan in allowing former Confederate leaders to lead their states and represent them in Congress, and in not providing adequate preventions for the rights of the "freedmen" (recently freed slaves). With a strengthened Republican majority they were able to put in place --over Johnson's veto-- a new Congressional Reconstruction plan (often called "Radical Reconstruction") limiting the power of former Confederate leaders and increasing protections for blacks. It included a military presence to protect blacks and governments in the Southern states that included blacks and other Republicans against some local (often violent) opposition.This second approach to Reconstruction continued into Grant's term, and had some successes. These included the 14th & 15th amendments, the defeat of the early form of the Ku Klux Klan and similar groups that killed and terrorized the freedmen, the election of many freedmen to political office in the South, and for the first time the requirement that states see to the education of black children.But by 1876 economic woes (a depression beginning in 1872), fatigue with maintaining troops in the South, and various more subtle racist groups in the South (which succeeded in scaring many blacks and other Republicans away from the polls), had undercut the program till it could no longer be maintained in the few places still remaining under "Reconstruction governments", and even Grant (a big supporter of Radical Reconstruction) had begun to pull back and the Republican nominee to succeed him (R.B. Hayes) promised in his campaign that he would work to restore "local rule." (Hayes did, however, seek and receive assurances from Southern states that the rights of blacks, esp. to vote, would be honored. For a time they were, but eventually that, and many other Reconstruction gains for blacks were undercut.)

Ask us happened when former Confederate leaders gained power under Johnson's plan for Reconstruction?

Under President Andrew Johnson's Reconstruction plan, former Confederate leaders quickly regained power in the South, often holding significant political positions. This led to the implementation of Black Codes, which severely restricted the rights and freedoms of newly freed African Americans. The resurgence of these leaders also fostered the rise of white supremacist groups like the Ku Klux Klan, further exacerbating racial tensions and undermining the goals of Reconstruction. Consequently, the lack of federal intervention allowed for the continuation of systemic racism and inequality in the region.

Why was the era Radical Reconstruction a failure?

A few reasons Presidential Reconstruction failed after the Civil War ended was it did not address how former slaves would be accepted as citizens in the South and the civil rights acts previously enforced during Abraham Lincolnâ??s were suddenly declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. These events allowed for the southern elite to reclaim authority over the South by establishing Jim Crow laws.

How reconstruction affect confederate?

Reconstruction significantly impacted the Confederate states by imposing federal control and efforts to rebuild the South's economy and society after the Civil War. It aimed to integrate formerly enslaved people into society as full citizens, which challenged the existing social order and led to resistance from many white Southerners. The period also saw the establishment of new laws and rights for African Americans, but it was met with backlash, including the rise of white supremacist groups. Ultimately, Reconstruction reshaped the political landscape of the South, setting the stage for ongoing racial tensions and struggles for civil rights.
