    By Johnson’s Reconstruction Proclamations, most Southerners were offered full restoration of rights as long as they took an oath to support the government. Furthermore, these Proclamations appointed provincial governors to reestablish governments in seceded states, required returning states to proclaim the illegality of succession, and declared slavery illegal. However, although the South was prepared to accept both these proclamations and the end of slavery, they were not prepared to accept the slaves which had been freed. A group named the Ku Klux Klan was founded, intending to frighten the Negroes away from voting. In addition, the Black Codes were enacted by Southern state legislatures, binding the Negroes to their previous jobs.…

    In 1865, Amendment Thirteen of the United States was ratified. The article states that all slaves residing in the nation or any of its corresponding territories are deemed emancipated. (Document A) Though the article does publicly mandate emancipation, it fails in successfully granting freedom to previous slaves. Southern states imposed “black codes” upon the newly freedmen. These diminishing codes restricted various activities and behaviors of the black community. Many included the prevention of interracial marriage, black testaments against whites in court of law, and jobs outside of agriculture. Clearly, the Thirteenth Amendment was not strictly imposed upon the once rebellious southern states. Three years later, congress decided to enact another article that would annul the previously mandated Dred Scott Decision of 1957, which states that blacks could not be legal citizens. This newly established document was titled the Fourteenth Amendment. The amendment itself stated that all persons born or naturalized in the…

    Between the years 1860 and 1877 a revolution was brought on in the United States due to constitutional and social developments. Significant constitutional developments such as secession in 1860 and the Civil Rights Act of 1866 play an important role in the road to revolution. Social developments play a smaller role in this revolution. Freed slaves are the root of social developments such as the Black Codes, the Freedman’s Bureau, and the Ku Klux Klan. Politics and states’ rights, black suffrage, and civil rights issues all combine to create a revolution. However, while certain constitutional developments during this time period have proven to be revolutionary, the social developments of this era have proven to be exactly the opposite.…

    The period after the Civil war has always been referred to as the reconstruction era. The reconstruction era can be defined from two perspectives. First, it covers the story of the United States between the periods of 1865 to 1877. The second part revolved around the transformation of the United States in 1863 to 1877 through the directive of the congress. An era was full of so much pain and endless questions.
