Unit 1 Review part 2

The Separate but equal principle established by the decision in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) led to the

•  start of the Civil War

• end of the Reconstruction period

• spread of racially segregated public facilities

• integration of white and African-American military regiments

Lincoln's plan for Reconstruction called for

•  10 percent of the voters in each southern state swear an oath of loyalty to the United States.

• denying the right to vote to southerners who served in the Confederate army

• forbidding leaders of the Confederacy to be elected to Congress

• denying any southerner who fought in the Confederate army the right to hold office

Food, clothing, and education were provided to former slaves by the

• Ku Klux Klan

• Wade-Davis Bill

• Conservatives

• Freedmen's Bureau 

"We reorganized [this] party with one plank, and only one plank, namely, that this is a white man's country, and white men must govern." This statement was probably made by a

• Radical Republican in 1865

• freed slave in 1877

• Democratic southerner in the 1870s

•  supporter of Thaddeus Stevens in 1868

 An important result of the presidential election of 1876 was the

•  creation of the Republican party

• end of Reconstruction

• impeachment of Andrew Johnson

• creation of the Freedmen's Bureau

Radical Republicans believed that

• the rights of freedmen in the South had to be protected

• former Confederate states should be readmitted quickly and easily

• southern planters should be paid for the loss of their slaves

• Congress should not interfere too much in the affairs of the South

Black codes gave former slaves the right to

• marry legally

• own guns

• serve on juries

• vote

After Reconstruction, blacks in the South began to

•  gain more seats in state legislatures

• lose interest in politics and government

• segregate themselves from southern whites

•  lose political power.

Slavery in the United States was officially banned by the

•  Civil Rights Act

•  Fifteenth Amendment

•  Fourteenth Amendment

• Thirteenth Amendment

President Johnson's Reconstruction plan

• was much harsher than Lincoln's

• did not require the South to end slavery

• did not allow leaders of the Confederacy to be elected to Congress

• required a majority of voters in each southern state to swear loyalty to the United States
