What did the period of reconstruction mean to the South?

The Reconstruction Era in the South had a different meaning than the Republican view, as the Republican Party created most of the reconstruction laws and policies. Their idea was to reform the old Confederacy and have it blend in, at whatever the cost with the rest of the Union. The Southern view saw reconstruction from a different point of view. To the "Old South", reconstruction meant that former slaves and other minorities would have equal rights with ones held by white people. This for them was not correct as they believed that Blacks were not equal to Whites. The idea of having Freed slaves take part in the governments of the southern states, allow them to vote and own farms was against the southern point of view.

Both Lincoln and Johnson favored a lenient reconstruction. They believed the nation could best be served by leaving the brutality of the Civil War behind quickly, while radical republicans argued that the South should be punished for starting the Civil War.


What was the southern view of Abolitionists?

Most southern politicians, plantation owners and voters (e.g. white males) viewed the Abolitionists with scorn, anger, and even hate. They viewed the Abolitionist cause as favoring the north and as counter to the southern "way of life", with its agrarian economy and need for inexpensive labor in the fields. There also existed a stronger, more prevailing view, in the South, that people of African descent were somehow inferior in intellect and somehow incapable of meaningful participation in a democratic society. This racist, bigoted view has gradually receded since the Civil War but, unfortunately, persists in far too many people to this day.

What was the northern view on reconstruction?

The reconstruction, sometimes referred to as the Reconstruction Period, was a space of roughly five years following the American Civil War during which the reconstruction of the Union took place. This was accomplished through the use of legislative power, and military might via the Military Reconstruction Act of 1867. Considering it was predominantly the white Northerners pushing the Act, the overall view of reconstruction was favorable. However, a large majority of Southern whites despised the idea, and resented the action. In spite of this, the newly freed slaves comprised an equally large portion of the Southern populous, and it was due in part to their pleas for citizenship that the reconstruction even took place. Thus, it could be said that the South itself was divided on the issue.


How did reconstruction turn radical?

Reconstruction turned radical when people's opinions began to view it that way. Looking at something and saying it's 'radical' or 'liberal' etc. is an opinion and cannot be proved, so it really becomes this way when you decide it has.
