yeah so the test was preety hard today....but belive it or not i actually did know a few of them....but just to let garrett and jake know this is "what up"

Reconstruction is when the united states wanted to rebuild the nation. The South was a main focus because it was tore to pieces. Particularly the Carolina's and Atlanta because they were burnt during Sherman's March.

The different types of reconstruction consisted of the governmental as well and structural. Also, the relationships had to be rebuilt the North and the South.

They decided to go to the constitution which gives more power to the federal government instead of the states. This was because you had states trading with each other and there were different laws in each state. Also, it was hard for trading to be done because different states were trading with different nations and the trading needed to be done between nations.

dixon, i beleive that we should spend more than one day on the civil war. Mainly because it had a major pat to do in shaping what the us is today.

Do not forget the stuff for the undercover mission on friday.

to answer the last question the congress was already trying to take powers from the executive branch with reconstruction. That showed signs of there being rivalry in the government. The civil war also sparked the south to only vote for democrats when there were a lot of provisions set for the south re-joining the U.S.

well, when talking about the civil war, reconstruction was the time period that rebuilt the south after the devestating war and battles that occured there. Especially with sherman's march to sea where he burned a lot of the south to his march to sea. Including major cities such as: Atlanta and Columbia.

The types of reconstructions were congressional reconstruction which can be related to why they were trying to pass the wade-davis bill. congressional reconstruction was basically a bunch of radical & moderate republican factions who wanted reconstruction to lie in their hands.

Another would be presidential reconstruction, in which, Lincoln wanted to preserve the union and thats when he created the ten percent plan; later carried out by johnson. The Ten percent plan is a plan that only ten percent of confederate soldiers had to sign a paper that they would be loyal and follow any law set before them to bring them back into the union.
