Andrew Johnson's Reconstruction, the 14th Amendment, and Black Heroes in History

  • Reconstruction began under President Johnson with a lenient approach toward former Confederates
  • The Impact of the 14th Amendment in 1868 established citizenship rights and equal protection under law
  • Role of Black abolitionists in antebellum America was crucial, with figures like Frederick Douglass leading the movement

Black Abolitionists and Reform Efforts

The antebellum period saw significant activism from Black abolitionists and various reform movements. Frederick Douglass emerged as a prominent voice through his antislavery journal, while others like Harriet Tubman worked directly to free enslaved people.

Quote: "In 1847, Douglass started an antislavery journal, the North Star."

Highlight: The American Peace Society's founding in 1828 represented broader reform efforts of the era.

Example: Nat Turner's 1831 revolt, resulting in 55 white deaths, demonstrated the violent resistance to slavery.

Grant's Leadership and Reconstruction

Under Grant's presidency, significant reforms were implemented, though corruption and economic challenges persisted. The election of 1868 demonstrated the growing importance of Black voters in national politics.

Vocabulary: Carpetbagger - A derogatory term for Northerners who moved South during Reconstruction Vocabulary: Scalawag - A pejorative term for Southern Republicans who supported Reconstruction

Highlight: The 15th Amendment's ratification in 1870 prohibited states from denying voting rights based on race.

End of Reconstruction

The period concluded with significant challenges and ultimately failed to achieve its primary goals. Economic troubles, including the Panic of 1873, and persistent racial inequality marked this era.

Definition: Redeemers were Southern conservatives who supported states' rights and white supremacy.

Highlight: The Compromise of 1877 effectively ended Reconstruction, with Democrats allowing Hayes's presidency in exchange for reduced federal intervention in the South.

Quote: "Ultimately, Reconstruction was a failure as many Black Americans continued to lag behind their white counterparts."

Johnson's Reconstruction Leadership

Johnson's Reconstruction policies reflected a more lenient approach toward the South compared to his predecessor. His implementation of a plan similar to Lincoln's 10% plan showed initial promise but was undermined by his frequent pardoning of Confederate leaders.

Highlight: Johnson's vetoing of civil rights legislation and pardoning of Confederate leaders demonstrated his resistance to meaningful reform.

Definition: The 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, established citizenship rights and equal protection under the law for all persons born in the United States.

Example: Johnson's veto of the Civil Rights Bill of 1866, which aimed to nullify Black Codes, exemplified his opposition to civil rights progress.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend
