Patrick Connolly Mr. Campbell Honors American History 27 January 2013 Reconstruction or Restoration? Directly following the Civil War, there were many questions left unanswered. Supposedly the North had won, and it was up to the remaining leaders to decide: what to do about the rebel leaders, what to do about the seceded states, and what to do about the freed slaves. A lot of those questions were answered during the period of ?reconstruction,? but the process of figuring those things out was a very shaky one. To reconstruct is to ?construct again,? or ?rebuild.? It can also be argued that this period following the Civil War was a time of restoration (the bringing back or reinstating) of the South to its previous state.

Native white Southern politicians who joined the Republican party after the war and advocated the acceptance of and compliance with congressional Reconstruction were labeled scalawags. To most white Southerners, scalawags were an unprincipled group of traitorous opportunists who had deserted their countrymen and ingratiated themselves with the hated Radical Republicans for their own material gain. The devastation in the South after the war, coupled with the economic and social problems, created a need for progressive political action that the disenfranchised white population could not address.

Max Breitmayer AP US 1st Period January 4, 2011 Reconstruction: The Second Civil War Forty Acres and a Mule On January 16th, 1865 William Tecumseh Sherman, a Union war general, issued ?Special Orders, No. 15? which guaranteed families of freed slave who fought in his army forty acres of tillable land, as well a mule. This plan was implemented as Union traveled through Southern territories; thousands of freed slaves joined their cause in the battle against the Confederacy. In actuality this plan was set up to handle the problem of repaying the mass of refugees. At this point in American history, land was plentiful and the Army had a surplus of unneeded mules, which the freed slaves could use for agricultural needs.
