The End of the Civil War and Reconstruction

Recap:

1. North Carolina succeeded first. X South Carolina

2. Slaves were sold down the Mississippi River. ✔️

3. Slave States were worried about Lincolm becoming President he might ban slavery. Because he was very against slavery. ✔️

4. False. ✔️

5. From a surviving slave. Diary of freed slaves, museum in Bristol of the slave trade.

Starter:

This desicion might make Britain not support the CSA because they had already banned slavery, and most of the people in Britain were against slavery, so they were unlikely to support CSA, as they wanted slavery to continue.

Task:

One reason why the South lost the Civil War was that around 50,000 Canadians volunteered to fight for the North. This resulted in the North having a much larger army than the South, which meant that the North overpowered the Southern States, and could easily fight back against them.

Another reason why the South lost the Civil War was because The Confederacy thought that Britain would buy cotton from them but the British had stockpiles of cotton and did not need to buy it from the South. This meant that the South had less money to spend on military supplies, and so the North could easily fight better than them and defeat them in battle.

Another reason why the South lost the Civil War was because Lincoln’s ‘Emancipation Proclamation’ speech freed all the slaves in Confederate territory. This meant that the war also about freeing the slaves, which stopped Britain from helping the South and sending military aid, as they were Anti-Slavery at this point. This resulted in the North continually making more military supplies than the south.

1. Key Terms:

Junettenth was when the last enslaved African Americans found out that they were freed.

Freedmen's Bureau was an organization that ran 3000 schools and hospitals to educate and care for African Americans.

Sharecroppers were when African American slaves could not find any other jobs apart from becoming farmers, and so rented land from the people that had enslaved them. They had to give a certain percentage of their crops as rent. If they refused the rent contracts they could be arrested.

Reconstruction was when white politicians trued and failed to give land to the former slaves after the end of the Civil War.

I5th Amendment gave African American men the right to vote.

Ways life improved for African Americans

Ways life did not improve for African Americans

They were able to vote and serve in the government.

Children who had previously been slaves were now educated.

Slavery was demolished, meaning they were now free.

Some African Americans still had to work for their previous slave owners and had to give them part of their crops if they were sharecroppers.

They could not serve against a jury, give evidence against a white man or join the military in the South.

They were not given land.

The white population of the South reacted to the freedom of the slaves by not supporting the government, and instead supporting the opposition, who were the Democrats.

The KKK wore long white robes and hoods. Their aim was to keep the African AMericans poor and ensure white people were politically and racially superior. They did this by violently intimidating people.

The Repubilan Party probably gave up supporting African Americans in the South in 1877 because they wanted to win the election.

Task:

1. I think that it was worth fighting a civil war because at least now African Americans were not owned by other people.

2. The position of African Americans have only slightly improved.
