Most critics argue that Presidential Reconstruction was too lenient. Consider President Johnson's actions and discuss whether you agree or disagree with this assessment.
I agree that Johnson was too lenient on the southern states. Their succession erupted into a civil war that had disastrous effects. Although they shouldn't have had a super harsh punishment, they still shouldn't have been directly accepted back into the Union.
After reading this chapter, do you agree with the critics who often rate Reconstruction as a failure? Consider what the goals of Reconstruction were and think about the social and cultural limitations at the time as you compose your answer.
I agree that the Reconstruction was a failure. It didn't completely fail; however, most of its goals were not achieved. For example, it did not rebuild the southern economy nor did it create lasting improvements for African Americans.
What do you think of President Grant's actions regarding Reconstruction? Consider his past experience from the Civil War and evaluate his options as well as the restrictions that he faced from both Northerners and Southerners.
I think he was right to take on the vigilante groups, like the KKK. However, obviously there are better ways of dealing the them other than fighting.
Would it have been possible for the United States to ensure civil liberties and economic opportunity for former slaves in the South after the Civil War? Why or why not? If it was possible, what would it have required the government to do? Would doing so have provoked a backlash in the South?
I think it would have been possible but it would've been very difficult to enforce. The government would've had to make any hate crimes illegal, because there would still be people who thought African Americans were inferior. They would not let them act on their civil liberties.
Were Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson correct in pursuing a "soft" peace with the Confederacy, or should Southerners have been punished more severely for rebelling?
I think that the southern states should've been given some type of punishment, not just granted full amnesty right away. However, the punishment shouldn't have been too harsh as most people wanted to stop the fighting and create peace.

The following is a TRUE statement regarding the Dred Scott Decision.

What was the purpose of the Military Reconstruction Act? Did it achieve its goals?
It divided 10 former Confederate states that failed to ratify the 14th Amendment into 5 military districts. Then, all of those districts were forced to hold new state conventions in which blacks were allowed to vote, and also they were forced to ratify the 14th Amendment. After these two steps were taken, they were allowed to apply for readmission into the Union and send representatives to Congress. It was successful for that specific purpose but not in the long run.
What was the Freedmen's Bureau? What was its role in the post-Civil War South?

It stated that since Mexico had banned slavery in the territories, it would be inhumane for the US to allow slavery. It also said that since the South said the war wasn't about slavery, but about expanding west, then it shouldn't be a problem to ban slavery. This angered the south because they didn't want Congress to have the right to ban slavery in states/territories. They knew that it would cause trouble down the line that would result in slavery being banned in all of the south.

Given what you know about President Andrew Johnson and Presidential Reconstruction, why do you think he opposed extending the life of the Freedmen's Bureau?

Compare the first and second phases of Congressional Reconstruction. How were they different? What accounts for the change?
The first phase dealt with solving the issues with aiding the newly freed slaves. However, the second phase dealt with fighting off different vigilante groups, like the KKK. --- P The first phase of Congressional reconstruction focused on helping the newly freed slaves, by expanding the Freedman's Bureau and passing civil rights legislation in 1866 (which then became the 14th amendment to the Constitution). When all but one Southern state failed to ratify the 14th amendment, the second phase of Congressional Reconstruction began after the midterm elections of 1866. The second phase was arguably more forceful, as the scope of white resistance to the new social order became quite clear. Groups like the Ku Klux Klan had to be combated with federal power, under Military Reconstruction, along with the adoption of martial law.

Does the commitment of the South to discriminate against African Americans strengthen the argument that the Civil War was fundamentally about slavery? And, given the persistent efforts of Southerners to oppress African Americans legislatively and through vigilantism, could Abraham Lincoln have achieved more justice for former slaves if he had lived?
The south's discrimination does strengthen the argument that the war was about slavery. I think that if Lincoln had lived, he wouldn't have achieved more justice for former slaves because he would listen to different ideas from the abolitionists and choose the best course of action. Whereas, Johnson, who was a southern, did what was best for the southern states.
Why did the discovery of gold in California cause a major problem for the Union in 1850?

They played the victim by provoking the Mexicans into starting the war. Poly and Taylor moved their troops onto mexican territory causing Mexico to fire the first shot in order to defend their land.
