  Date:   Class:    \nRadical Reconstruction  \nBoth Lincoln and Johnson had foreseen that the Congress would have the right to deny Southern legislators seats in the U.S. Senate or House of Representatives, under the clause of the Constitution that says,\"Each house shall be the judge of the ... qualifications of its own members.\" This came to pass when, under the leadership of Thaddeus Stevens, those congressmen called\"Radical Republicans,\" who were wary of a quick and easy \"reconstruction,\" refused to seat newly elected Southern senators and representatives. Within the next few months, Congress proceeded to work out a plan for the reconstruction of the South quite different from the one Lincoln had started and Johnson had continued.  \n1. Who led the Radical Republicans?  \na. Abraham Lincoln  \nb. Andrew Johnson  \nc. Thaddeus Stevens  \nd. Ulysses S. Grant  \nWide public support gradually developed for those members of Congress who believed that African Americans should  \nbe given full citizenship. By July 1866,  \nCongress had passed a civil rights bill and setup a new Freedmen's Bureau – both designed to prevent racial discrimination by Southern legislatures. Following this, the Congress passed a 14th Amendment to the Constitution, stating that \"all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.\" This repudiated the Dred Scott ruling, which had denied slaves their right of citizenship.  \n2. Describe the 14th Amendment.  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nFree K-12 Worksheets and More [www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com](www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com)  \nName:   Date:   Class:    \nAll the Southern state legislatures, with the exception of Tennessee, refused to ratify the amendment, some voting against it unanimously. In addition, Southern state legislatures passed \"codes\" to regulate the African-American freedmen. The codes differed from state to state, but some provisions were common. African Americans were required to enter into annual labor contracts, with penalties imposed in case of violation; dependent children were subject to compulsory apprenticeship and corporal punishments by masters; vagrants could be sold into private service if they could not pay severe fines.  \n3. Describe the “codes” passed by Southern state legislatures to regulate the AfricanAmerican freedmen.  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nMany Northerners interpreted the Southern response as an attempt to  \nreestablish slavery and repudiate the hardwon Union victory in the Civil War. It did not help that Johnson, although a Unionist, was a Southern Democrat with an addiction to intemperate rhetoric and an aversion to political compromise. Republicans swept the congressional elections of 1866 . Firmly in power, the Radicals imposed their own vision of Reconstruction.  \nIn the Reconstruction Act of March 1867, Congress, ignoring the governments that had been established in the Southern states, divided the South into five military districts, each administered by a Union general. Escape from permanent military government was open to those states that established civil governments, ratified the 14th Amendment, and adopted AfricanAmerican suffrage. Supporters of the Confederacy who had not taken oaths of loyalty to the United States generally could not vote. The 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868 . The 15th Amendment, passed by Congress the following year and ratified in 1870 by state legislatures, provided that \"The right of citizens of the United States to voteshall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.\"  \n4.
