Did the southern or northern states have tariffs?

Both northern and southern states in the United States had tariffs at different times, but they had differing perspectives on their use. The northern states generally supported tariffs to protect their burgeoning industries, while the southern states opposed them, as they relied on imported goods and feared tariffs would increase costs. This economic divide contributed to tensions leading up to the Civil War. Ultimately, the conflict over tariffs was part of the broader regional disputes between the North and the South.


What does reconstruction mean referring to the Civil War?

Reconstruction was the time in United States' History when the South rebuilt after the Civil War. Lincoln set up military districts to assign each state to and the Union generals kept order in the territory over which they preside. Each military district did expire though. From 1863 to 1877, the revision of these states took time, but were steadily made, by boosting social and economic components of the Southern states. Each state needed 10% of its population to approve the addition of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to their respective states' constitution. By doing this, each state could then re-enter the Union.


What did Lincoln's plan for reconstruction aim to do?

What is the difference between presidental reconstruction and congressional reconstruction?

Congressional Reconstruction restricted eligibility for participation in the state constitutional conventions in the South. Presidential Reconstruction was run by the president. The president who at the time was Abraham Lincoln made it up. When he died Johnson took over the plan. Congress lost hope in him so they tried to impeach him. They also in turn took over and named there plan Congressional reconstruction. Therefore Congress made Congressional Reconstruction and The president made presidential reconstruction. The presidential reconstruction supported the 10% rule, while the congressional reconstruction rejected the rule, instead they supported the"forfeited-rights theory"which states that as long as the southerners rebelled against the union; they had forfeited their rights under the U.S. constitution.. Also the presidential rule was very lenient towards the southerners. and offered some form of amnesty to southerners who would take oath of allegiance. the congressional reconstruction wanted revenge against the south. During presidential Reconstruction efforts to help the newly freed slaves went well at first. The Freedmen's Bureau educated blacks and helped them adjust to their new way of life. But very soon the Southern states passed "black codes," which discriminated against blacks, and President Johnson did little to protect their rights. Once the Radical Republicans realized that they could override the president's veto, they sharply increased the pace and tone of Reconstruction. They promoted the 13th Amendment, passed the Civil Rights and Reconstruction Acts, sent soldiers to the South to provide law and order, made it difficult for former Rebels to hold public office, and opened the doors to black citizenship.
