What were the different approaches to reconstruction after the war?

The different approaches to the reconstruction were number one,the executive or presidential approach. The second was the legislative or congressional approach. The last was the judicial approach. The purpose of the executive or presidential approach was mainly to change charity for southern whites and to get a whole new government. Basically they wanted to be done with the old an in with the new. The legislative or congressional approach set a republican goal to maintain their power and they saw a purpose in the using of the Southern Black vote. They wanted to continue to run things the way they had been doing so and figured if they get the Blacks on their side their vote would help them in this goal. The last the Judicial approach showed the continued struggle between federal and states rights advocates over who should have more power and control.

Was congressional reconstruction successful?

Congressional Reconstruction had mixed results. It successfully passed the 14th and 15th Amendments, which granted citizenship and voting rights to African Americans, and established some political gains for Black citizens in the South. However, it ultimately failed to ensure lasting change, as systemic racism persisted, leading to the rise of Jim Crow laws and the disenfranchisement of Black voters. By the end of the 1870s, the withdrawal of federal troops marked a retreat from these gains, indicating its limited long-term effectiveness.


How would you explain the increasingly radical nature of congressional reconstruction?

The increasingly radical nature of congressional Reconstruction can be attributed to the growing frustration among Northern Republicans with the slow pace of change in the South and the persistent resistance from Southern Democrats. Following the Civil War, Congress sought to impose stricter measures to ensure civil rights and political participation for freed slaves, culminating in the passage of the Reconstruction Acts. The desire to protect these advancements and to prevent former Confederates from regaining power fueled more radical policies. Additionally, the assassination of President Lincoln and the rise of more militant leaders in Congress intensified the push for transformative reforms.
