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.

In the 1866 congressional elections

voters endorsed the Republican congressional approach to Reconstruction.

A primary motive for the formation of the Ku Klux Klan was

white resistance in the South to constitutional and federal legislative attempts to empower blacks politically and challenge white supremacy.

Radical congressional Reconstruction of the South finally ended when

the last federal troops were removed in 1877 and a "solid" Democratic South became politically institutionalized.

Both moderate and radical Republicans agreed that

freed slaves must be granted the right to vote.

Many feminist leaders were deeply disappointed with the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments because they

gave national citizenship rights and voting rights to African American males but not to white or black women.

Even though the Force Acts and the Union Army helped suppress the Ku Klux Klan, the secret organization largely achieved its central goal of

intimidating blacks and undermining them politically.

Radical Reconstruction state governments in the South

passed much desirable legislation and badly needed reforms such as establishing adequate public schools and launching public works.

____ believed that the Southern states had completely left the Union and were therefore, "conquered provinces" that had to seek readmission on whatever economic and political terms Congress demanded.

Congressional radical Republicans

The root cause of the battle between Congress and President Andrew Johnson was

Johnson's "soft" conciliatory treatment of the white South clashed with the congressional emphasis of promoting black freedom and racial equality in the South by many Republicans in Congress.

The incident that caused the clash between Congress and President Johnson to explode into the open in February 1866 was

Johnson's veto of the bill to extend the Freedmen's Bureau.

In 1865, following the conclusion of the Civil War,

Southern blacks often began traveling to test their freedom, search for family members, and seek economic opportunity.

The first and only ex-Confederate state to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment in 1866 and thus be immediately readmitted to the Union under congressional Reconstruction was

From 1878 to 1880, some twenty-five thousand blacks from Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi, known as "the Exodusters", were

black freedmen who left the South to seek opportunity in Kansas.

Freedom for Southern blacks at the end of the Civil War

caused whole communities of Southern blacks from Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi to migrate westward to territories and states such as Kansas for better job opportunities.

As a politician, Andrew Johnson developed a reputation as a(n)

champion of the poor whites.

The Fourteenth Amendment guaranteed

citizenship and civil rights to freed slaves.

Political corruption during Reconstruction was

common in both North and South.

Feminist leaders such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Antony campaigned against Fourteenth Amendment

despite having worked wholeheartedly for the cause of emancipation, because a citizen's right to vote was defined constitutionally as being limited to male citizens, despite being urged by their former ally, Frederick Douglass, to support the Fourteenth Amendment in order to enshrine black civil rights into the Constitution, because equal national citizenship was defined in the Constitution as limited to males. (All of these choices are correct.)

The official charge that the House of Representatives used to impeach President Johnson was his

dismissal of Secretary of War Stanton contrary to the Tenure of Office Act.

In his 10 percent plan for Reconstruction, President Lincoln promised

rapid, straightforward, and readily achievable readmission of Southern states into the Union.

The Exodusters' westward mass migration finally faltered when

steamboat captains refused to transport more former slaves across the Mississippi.

At the end of the Civil War, many white Southerners

still believed that their view of secession was correct and their cause was just.

Johnson was narrowly acquitted on the impeachment charges ultimately because

sufficient numbers of Republican senators recognized that the impeachment charges were legally dubious and politically charged and voted "not guilty."

Johnson's veto of the Civil Rights Bill of 1866 prompted Congress to seek passage of

the Fourteenth Amendment.

To many Northerners, the Black Codes seemed to indicate that

the arrogant South was acting as if the North had not really won the Civil War and the North had sacrificed its young men in vain.

The political controversy surrounding the Wade-Davis Bill and the readmission of the Confederate states to the Union demonstrated

the deep differences between President Lincoln and Congress concerning the political conditions and terms of Reconstruction.

In the postwar South

the economy and social structure was utterly devastated.

For congressional Republicans, one of the most troubling aspects of the Southern states' quick restoration to the Union was that

with the black population fully counted, the South would be stronger than ever in national politics and Democrats could possibly regain control of Congress in the near future.
