2 Differing Plans
- Lincoln’s Plan – A moderate policy that would reconcile
the South with the Union instead of punishing it for treason
- Radical Republican’s Plan – “revolutionize southern institutions,
habits, and manners”
![Page 5: CH 12 Reconstruction 1865 - 1877. Journal Entry – Tues. Feb 16 Read An American Story on page 386. What would life be like to be a freed slave during.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5515730555034685568b61b8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Lincoln’s Plan
In Dec 1863, Lincoln set forth his plan in the Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction
Amnesty – a pardon to all Southerners who took an oath of loyalty to the U.S. and accepted the end of slavery

3 Main Goals of Radical Republicans

Discussion Question
Do you think Presidents Johnson and Lincoln were wise in not seeking harsh treatment for the southern states in their plans for Reconstruction?
![Page 10: CH 12 Reconstruction 1865 - 1877. Journal Entry – Tues. Feb 16 Read An American Story on page 386. What would life be like to be a freed slave during.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052618/5515730555034685568b61b8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Johnson’s reconstruction plan was much like Lincolns
However, as Southern states rejoined the union, Republicans began to fear the Democrats influence in Congress
