USH Chapter 22, Part 1: The Ordeal of Reconstruction

Last updated almost 2 years ago

12 questions

Welcome to your Chapter 22 reading! As you read, consider the following essential question:
Was the Reconstruction Period a success or failure?
As always, "Focus Questions" should guide your reading and notes, but you do not necessarily have to explicitly answer them.

1

SMT.01

The first seven Confederate States to secede from the Union were South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. Shortly after, Virginia, Arkansas North Carolina, and Tennessee followed suit.

While President Lincoln is known for freeing the slaves in the Emancipation Proclamation, he only freed slaves in the Confederate South [red]. Slavery was still allowed in the Border States [brown] until the 13th Amendment formally abolished slavery from the Union.

In our study of U.S. History, we care most about the causes and effects of major wars. Hence, we will be skipping over the textbook chapters that cover the Civil War.

tldr; The North wins, and the Union is preserved. The Confederacy loses, and the South is nearly wrecked by war. President Lincoln is assassinated.
