Megan: Our goal with our Reconstruction plans was to simply find a compromise between the Radical Republicans? plans and Johnson?s plans. We aimed to find the middle ground so that Reconstruction would not only be executed as efficiently as possible, but so that the Northerners would not feel like they fought the war in vain or for a lost cause. African Americans? rights would further be ensured and Southerners woud be able to let go of their former way of life.

compromises

The United States of America was founded and held together using compromises to help keep all parties involved in a particular conflict satisfied. This continued through the time period from 1820 to 1860. However, by 1860, the increasing tension surrounding the issue of slavery made continued use of compromise seem impossible. The numerous conflicts and disagreements involved with slavery divided the North and the South and eventually caused a complete collapse in the possibility of compromise.
