Causes of Civil War / Reconstruction Flashcards

Reconstruction was the period of time after the Civil War during which the Southern states were rebuilt and readmitted to the Union (1865-1877). After the Civil war, much of the South lay in ruins. Cities were destroyed, railroad tracks had been pulled up, and the South's financial system was wrecked (Confederate money was worthless and southern bank depositors lost all their money). Republicans in Congress felt President Lincoln's and President Johnson's plans to reconstruct the South were too lenient. Congress took control of Reconstruction from Johnson, sought to break the power of the southern planters, and ensure the freedmen's right to vote. During Reconstruction laws and Amendments were adopted to ensure African Americans rights and opportunities. Unfortunately, those rights and opportunities were for the most part lost after Reconstruction ended.
Lincoln wanted to quickly restore the Union. In a speech in 1865 he said "With malice towards none, with charity toward all...let us strive to bind up the nation's wounds." Republicans in Congress felt his plan was too lenient and rejected it. Congress and Lincoln were able to agree on the creation of the Freedmen's Bureau. It provided food and clothing to former slaves and set up schools to educate them. Lincoln was assassinated and his Vice President, Andrew Johnson became President.
Johnson's Reconstruction plan was also seen as too easy on the South by Republicans in Congress. Radical Republicans wanted to take control of Reconstruction from President Johnson. Although under his plan the 13th Amendment, forbidding slavery, was ratified, his plan also allowed former Confederates to remain in power in the South and even to be elected to Congress. After the election of 1866, Radical Republicans in Congress took control of Reconstruction.

Campbell's Biology, 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 42 Circulation and Gas Exchange Flashcards

Substantial emphasis is placed in Chapter 42 on the big picture of animals existing only by virtue of exchanging matter with their environments. In particular, oxygen and carbon dioxide dynamics are explored in a wide variety of animals, with close investigation of the diverse structures and functions involved in gas exchange. The Test Bank questions assess learning across many levels of inquiry, from atomic to organismal.
