In attempt to gain power over the north what did the south do?
Enacted a cotton embargo
What did the north gain out of reconstruction?
The North did not gain much out of reconstruction. They did win the war and help to end slavery. However, reconstruction was not very successful and the north soon lost interest. This caused the south to regain control of their own states. While slavery was ended, African-Americans were still treated badly and held no rights.
What was the result of the popularity of the Populist Party among blacks in the South?
Southerners realized that blacks were a potent political force and that they would have to share power politically. It heightened fears of Southerners that blacks might gain political power.
What were the two goals of the south in the civil war?
The Confederacy's first goal during the Civil War was to gain independence from the northern states. The second goal was to establish a government that was free from what they deemed as northern oppression, and would not attempt to end slavery.
What did Andrew Johnson mean when he said slavery exists it is black in the south and white in the north?
Andrew Johnson was notably a white supremacist and he did not want any African Americans to gain any votes or have more rights. He might have stated the above "[...]black in the south and white in the north" because he felt that slavery ownership was right, and that the north was being controlled by abolitionists (of slavery) as well as the many poor whites.
