Chapter 22 APUSH

Andrew Johnson had been put on lincoln's ticket as Vice President in his second term

to appeal to war democrats and pro union southerners

During reconstruction African american women assumed new political roles, but were not allowed to ,

vote

in the 1866 congressional elections

voters endorsed the congressional approach to reconstruction

the 14th amendment prohibited ex confederate leaders

from holding public office

the incident that caused the clash between congress and johnson to explode into the open was

johnsons veto of a bill to extend the freedman's bureau

radical reconstruction state governments

passed much desirable legislation and badly needed reforms

IN 1867 Seward achieved Johnson's administrations greatest achievement in foreign relations when he

purchased Alaska from Russia

the root cause of the battle between congress and Johnson was

Johnson's soft treatment of the white south

the first and only confederate stated to ratify the 14th amendment was in 1866 and thus be immediately readmitted into the union under congressional reconstruction was

Tennessee

Reconstruction might have been more successful if

Thaddeus Steven's radical program of drastic economic reforms and stronger protection of political rights had been enacted

In president Andrew Johnson's view the freedmen's bureau was

a meddlesome agency that should be killed

the white south viewed the freedman's bureau as

a meddlesome federal agency that threatened to upset white racial dominance

Blacks in the south relied on the union league to

educate them on their civic duties

the greatest achievements of the freedmans bureau were in

education

as a politician Andrew Johnson developed a reputation as a

champion of poor whites

the 14th amendment guaranteed

citizenship and civil rights to freed slaves

political corruption during reconstruction was

common in both north and south

who believed that the southern states had completely left the union and were therefore "conquered provinces" that had to seek readmission on whatever terms congress demanded

congressional republicans

Johnson was narrowly acquitted on the impeachment charges because it was finally recognized that the charges were

dubious and political

In his 10% plan for reconstruction, lincoln promised

rapid readmission of southern states into the union

Many feminist leaders were especially disappointed with th 14th amendment because it

specified for the first time in th constitution that only males could vote

the exodusters mass migration to Kansas finally faltered when

steamboat capitals refused to transport former slaves across the Mississippi

Johnson's veto of the civil rights bill of 1866 prompted congress to seek passage of

the 14th amendment

the controversy over the wade davis bill and the readmission of southern states into the union demonstrated

the deep differences between Lincoln and congress

for congressional republicans one of the most troubling aspects of southern stats quick admission back into the union was that

with the black population the south would be stronger than ever in national policies
