Why is reconstruction so important?
reconstruction was so important because after the civil war the north and south were separated. This was a way to bring them back together and reconstruct the united states of America by helping out the social issues and the economical issues of the entire united states.
What was the plan to bring the south back to the union?
The plan was outlined in Lincoln's Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction on December 8th 1863. At least 10 % of voters that had cast ballots in the 1860 election had to take an oath of allegiance to the Union. Also almost anybody could receive a pardon by taking this oath of allegiance. Excluded were people that had given up positions in the federal government to serve in the confederacy, high ranking confederate military officials, and those who had mistreated black and white prisoners of war. This answer was thoroughly processed and corrected by my mother and tediously chewed up and ruminated until it was finally approved so I'm going to hurry up and publish this before she finds something else.
Why did the period following the Civil War is known as Reconstruction?
After the Civil War, owning slaves was made illegal. Reconstruction was set up to help integrate newly freed African-Americans into society so they could learn how to run their own household, find a job and raise a family. Reconstruction also ensured the wealthy white landowners who had voted to secede from the Union did not have the political power to cause further problems.
How many Confederate Presidents were there?
The Confederate States of America was made up of the states that seceded from the US to bring about the Civil War. When the war ended these states returned to the Union and the Confederate States ceased to exist. The Confederate States had only one president and that was Jefferson Davis. He might be called a confederate president, I suppose, but he was not president of the US.
What were the goals of the radical reconstruction program?
Congressional reconstruction was what happened when Abraham Lincoln was shot, his VP Andrew Johnson couldn't handle the presidency and congress was controlled by the bower hungry radial republicans. Congress was controlled by Republicans, and the Radical portion of those wanted to make the South pay for the war. The moderates just wanted to bring the South back into the Union. Congress split the South into 5 military districts, and placed them under martial law. Congress also passed the 13th and 14 amendments. The plan also took away voting rights to all people who willingly took up arms against the union (volunteered to fight for the Confederates). The 13 amendment made slavery illegal, the 14 gave all African Americans citizenship. When so much of a states population had sworn an "ironclad" oath, they were admitted back into the union. When Rutherford B. Hayes was running for president, there were 20 disputed votes, and he was given those electoral votes, to win the election, and he removed the soldiers, and ended reconstruction.

What national issues and attitudes combined to bring an end to reconstruction by 1877?
Two types of national issues and attitudes led to the end of Reconstruction in 1877: political and racial. By 1877, the nation and especially the North had issues unrelated to Reconstruction on its mind. The scandals of the Grant administration, including the "Whiskey Ring" caused good government to be a major issue for many. The Panic of 1873 was still causing economic disruption in 1877, and this economic crash took the focus off Reconstruction. Racial issues and attitudes also helped bring an end to Reconstruction. Many Northern whites were not committed to black equality or rights. By 1877 they were simply tired of taking self-government from Southern whites for the benefit of African Americans.
