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

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
