One of the major point of conflict during the Reconstruction was that of the electoral rights of blacks. Almost all white Southerners were determined to prevent them from obtaining decisive electoral power of even any power at all. Andrew Johnson's more or less open attitude to back his white countrymen led the President and the Congress to get at loggerheads. When the Fourteenth Amendment was promulgated by the Congress, Johnson urged the Southern States not to ratify it, if it were to become law. That was of no avails, because the amendment became law. But the Congress was so outraged for the presidential opposition that in March 1867 it passed the Reconstruction Act, which was a diktat imposing to the South its version of the postwar settlement. The former Confederate States ,short of Tennessee, were grouped into five military districts, each ruled by a military governor. The states have to set up conventions in order to amend their Constitution so as to conform with the Constitution of the United States, including the Fourteenth Amendment. After carrying out these stages, the states could be readmitted to the Union and to be represented in the Congress.

Is Mahtama Gandhi philosophy relevant today?
Gandhi's philosophy included ideas such as the following:
(1) Gandhi believed that at the core of every religion was truth and love (compassion, nonviolence and The Golden Rule). In fact, later in his life when he was asked whether he was a Hindu, he replied: "Yes I am. I am also a Christian, a Muslim, a Buddhist and a Jew."
(2) resistance to tyranny by totally non-violent civil disobedience (However, Gandhi was aware that this level of nonviolence required incredible faith and courage, which he realized not everyone possessed. He therefore advised that everyone need not keep to nonviolence, especially if it were used as a cover for cowardice.)
To answer the question:
Yes, a philosophy that includes ideas such as those above is certainly relevant today. As our planet seems to shrink under a rapidly growing world population, more and more people, likely from backgrounds diverse in faith and culture, are going to find themselves on one another's doorsteps. In an age where technology can significantly multiply the destructive power of an individual, a philosophy of non-violence and tolerance is certainly relevant.
