| Wilmer McClean | there for the beginning and the end of the war. |
| Antietam | Turning point. Confederate need to win on Union soil for foreign recognization. First Union victory, McClean fired for not chasing Confederate army (Replaced by Burnside), led to emancipation proclamation |
| Emancipation | Made during Union victory, justification because he is commander in chief, not for justice but to win the war. Only take affect in place that is rebelling. Change the purpose of the war, freed 0 people. |

| wilderness campign, petersburg | Grant advances to Richmond, end of confederate government |
| Appomattox Court House | Lee's surrender, hunt for Jefferson Davis |
| Goals of Reconstruction | rebuild southern economy, status of formerly enslaved, bring southern states back into political system |
| Wade-Davis Bill | Johnson's version of Lincoln's plan: recognize end of slavery, 50% male WHITE citizen takes "ironclad" oath (always had been loyal to the Union, who never support the conf), no voting rights for former conf. officers (got pocket-vetoed, lincoln ignored it |
| election of 1864 | Lincoln thought he would lose to Democrat McClean. John Bell Hood gave Lincoln a military victory for him to win the election. |
| Congress's role in Reconstruction | Against Johnson, want to keep Lincoln's old plan |
| Andrew Johnson | Poor white who climbed the ladder, hate rich whites thats why he aim for rich plantation owners in the south. The only senator during the civil war that didnt secede, thats why Lincoln chose him. |
| Johnson reconstruciton plan | ratify 13th ammendment. General amnesty, if you're rich then he won't forgive you, no voting rights, etc. no military occupation. Republican hate it, southern liked it |
| black codes | a series of state laws designed to keep the newly freed population in a semi-slavery (Vagrancy law) |
| Ku Klux Klan | use terrorism, using violence and intimidation to keep the hierarchy. dress up white as ghost of conf. soldier |
| Johnson vs. Congress | Johnson declare reconstruction over in 1865, congress says no and tries to pass bills to protect the rights of the Blacks and reject southern congressmen |
| expansion of freedmen burreau and civil rights act | both got overruled by congress over Johnson's veto |
| Johnson's Swing Around the Circle | Tries to convince crowds to re-vote him, into the democrats side, went really bad. Radical republican got complete control |
| Reconstruction Act(1867) | Division of south into military district, military occupation, etc. What is being implanted by radical republicans, no easy on the south |
| Reconstruction act continued | Ratify 13th and 14th amendment, vote for enslaved people, deny vote for former confederate leader |
| 14th amendment | any person born in US has full citizenship: equal protection under the law, due process of law in order to have rights taken away |
| Tenure of Office Act | cannot fire appointed officials in presidency(cabinet member) fear of johnson firing his cabinet officals. Senate has to approve of the firing. |
| plot against Johnson | the reason: trying to fire Stanton, 11 charges, violation of tenure of office act. Too many charges and people got confused and lost votes, so Johnson stayed by 1 vote. A failed impeachment. |
| effect of failed Johnson impeachment | Power more to the congress, 13, 14, 15, amendment, carpetbaggers, scalawags, "black republicans" who grow in power by siding with republican, continuing military occupation |
| election of 1868 | Grant: "let us have peace", he won |
| Force Act (for sustaining Reconstruction) | military occupation in order to protect the rights of people to vote in the south |
| KKK Act | forced the KKK to disband, arresting KKK leaders, drive them away |
| "Redeemer" | southerners who support white supremacy, trying to return what is like in the war, try to get into congress |
| "occupation weariness" and "Liberal Republican" | |
| Gold Corner Scandal | ames Fisk and Jay Gould along with Abel Corbin (brother-in-law??) attempt to corner the gold market by buying lots of gold and eventually increasing the price causing crazy inflation. When Grant noticed the inflation the Treasury had to sell |
| scandals | made republican gov very weak and democrat power rose in the meantime |
| election of 1876 | Democrat: Samuel Tilden vs. republican: Hayes. Scandals hurt republican reputation. Tilden won. Republican contest the results and say many southern state can't be trusted, flipping them to republican. So Hayes won |
| Compromise of 1877 | Hayes got electoral votes in exchange for end of military occupation in the South, so white democrats control the south (for almost a century) SOUTH WON RECONTRUCTION |
| effect of end reconstruction | weak, small government, democrats dominated, sharecropping and tenet farming, poll taxes (against rights to vote, civil rights), segregation and Jim Crow Laws "separate and equal" |
