Yesterday, we read the textbook to find out about different plans for Reconstruction. We looked at plans by Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, and the radical Republicans. We also filled out a map about radical Reconstruction in the South from 1865-1870. President Lincoln had hoped to restore southern state governments to "successful operation" by December 1865. This didn't happen for more than a decade due to the Radical Republican rule, which put the South under military rule and divided the South into five districts, each of which were governed by a Northern general.
Today, we read Andrew Johnson's obituary from The New York Times, which was mostly a sketch of his career (it was very long). We also talked about the impeachment process.
