Yesterday in class (1/30/13) we used are textbooks to take
notes on the 3 plans for Reconstruction. Lincoln’s purpose for his plan was
that he wouldn't allow pardons of the Confederate military. Johnson’s plans
purpose was to forgive the south and enter the Union with little cause. Lastly
the Radical Republicans’ plan (the harshest of them all) was mostly to just
punish the south as much as they could. We
also colored and labeled a Radical Reconstruction map.
Today in class (1/31/13) we read
Andrew Johnson’s Obituary which was extremely long. Andrew Johnson, former president
of the United States and member of the Senate from Tennessee died July 31st,
1875. We talked about his impeachment which “is a formal process in which an
official is accused of unlawful activity, the outcome of which, depending on
the country, may include the removal of that official from office as well as
criminal or civil punishment.” Andrew Johnson was impeached because The Radical
Republicans didn't agree with him and had other plans for Reconstruction.
