Does Lincoln view his reconstruction plan as the only acceptable method?
Yes, he viewed it as the only acceptable plan for reconstruction.
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.
What was the attitude of the south towords the reconstruction?
The former states of the Confederacy had a huge negative view of the US's Reconstruction plans for the South. They believed that the US was getting "even" with them for the cause of the US Civil War.Wherever possible, Southerners evaded laws and regulations of the Reconstruction Era.
How did white people in the South view reconstruction?
not so strict, like they just wanted to get it over with and the the blacks had no rights
Why is history controversial?
Everyone has a point of view, and the authors who write the histories we study have points of view (POV). Often times, the prejudices these authors have are put into their writing. Over time and continued studies, these prejudices come to light. How the reader sees themself or their culture is important in this analysis, as they may be offended by how a written history is posed. An example of this is how the survivors of Hiroshima view the dropping of the atomic bomb, verses the view of a Corporal in the First Marine Division sitting on Iwo Jima in July of 1945 would write of the same (future) event.
