Writing a paper on Reconstruction and this video just gave me everything I needed. I learnt twice as much as I normally do from my History teacher. Thank you!!

Teachers like this deserve 6 figures. Change my mind.

to whoever asked what the 50% compromise was, it was a compromise offered by congress during Lincoln's tenure when he proposed the 10% compromise in which Mr. Hughes explains that 10% of voters needed to pledge loyalty to the Union in the southern states that were conquered. This, as you can probably piece together, was an idea to propose that 50% of voters needed to pledge loyalty to the Union instead of just 10%. It would be a harder way for states to re-enter the union, but it can also be analyzed as a way to sort of guarantee that another Civil War will most likely be prevented. I hope that suffices, please let me know if there was anything wrong with what I said.

Also if I'm not mistaken, Lincoln struck this down because he wanted to only commit to one compromise policy, which rubbed congress the wrong way and rose tensions between him and them.

That was a great point about the lost innovations.

Very good video. Not that it matters but at about 7:55 you said "Johnson has nothing on Lincoln". I think you meant the opposite.

I think they covered that in an episode of Quantum Leap. But seriously, dropping string theory on the kiddies would of just blown their brains up so I decided to leave it out.

I love this podcast and lesson. I do have one thing I would like to mention as History teacher myself. I do believe Lincoln could have controlled presidential reconstruction and ended up somewhere between Radical reconstruction and the mess Johnson created. Looking at how Lincoln worked for the 13th amendment, and how politically savvy he was about getting things when they were needed, as opposed when the radicals wanted them, he would have promoted the same amendments and maybe decrease the hostility of the South. He was too smart to put the same confederate leaders in charge of the governments without having some safeguards. He just never had the time to put the same level of thinking toward this as he did the war itself. I use as an example the way some want to paint Lincoln as a racist because he spit-balled various ideas (like the kinda naive "send all the Blacks to another colony" suggestion), but Frederick Douglas said Lincoln was the only white man to truly treat him like an equal. He did want citizenship and the right to vote for Blacks and his last speech is credited by some for why Booth wanting to kill him. Just some thoughts to add to a very good summary of this subject done in a very entertaining way. Thank you for posting it.

Man it hurts to be this hip.

He cused listen to it

correction to the text: Tilden came from New York - not a southerner

This is a complicated topic and you laid it out quite nicely. Excellent job.. I can;t help wondering what was in the minds of the Jim Crow whites. What was their motivation? It is hard to believe that a large group truly all act out of pure hate. They had to be afraid economically at heart. With a looming depression it was probably with good reason.No excuses but if we don't truly understand the motivations then we don;t truly understand.

Who else had to do this for class

I need three facts for extra credit

So there was no party switch...just a strategy switch.

I use your videos in my class all the time. Thanks so much for your knowledge and interesting presentations.

From what I understand there were a good number of free blacks in the south. Something like 5% or so of all blacks in the south were free, from previous arrangements, servitude in the rev war, coming from the north..... and it was not unheard of for some of these free blacks to "purchase" relatives, whom for tax reasons were listed as slaves. From one census there were roughly 3k free blacks who owned one or more slaves. this would be 2% of free blacks. but to equate it w/ slavery is dumb.

After class the computer repair guy who overheard this walked up to me and said in his thick accent, "I reckon you didn't know I was from Tennessee".

OP ALERT

Ih ope that gnome is a nice gnome cause he looks like he hated history but now likes it.

I have my own opinion but I presented it as a concept taken up by Lincoln hence no need to readmit the states of they never left. That concept is built on the idea that once the states joined the union they gave up the right to withdraw that their power rests in their representation in the Congress. I know there is another side of that coin the idea that the union is dissovable if those states/territories decide to form other alliances or declare their own sovereignty. I dig your smart comments.

I may need to practice that one. Thanks for the correction, I really need work on my stereotypical southern accent.

Don't forget there were white share croppers as well, and white poverty was every bit as bad as black poverty. I know, because I remember the 1950's deep south poverty.

whoa, there Keith, secession unconstitutional? I didn't see that in article 4. And since the constitution doesn't say a state can't leave the union, the tenth amendment would imply that it could leave the union. Lets not forget at the time the constitution was written, america wasn't a group of states but a group of States, independent sovereign territories and they gave the constitution a run for its money specifically to ensure that that sovereignty wouldn't be compromised.

did Maine secede from Massuchusetts? Did Kentucky secede from Virginia? didn't west Virginia secede from Virginia? didn't the supreme court rule secession unconstitutional years after the war? to me I don't think the south ever ask themselves if it was constitutional except in their state constitutions. the south did in fact secede and form the Confederate States of America. President Lincoln called them states in rebellion. the question isnt so much as one of secession being constitutional but whether the seceding states has the power to back it up....at the time of secession no one saw a bloody 4 year civil war on the horizon.

@andrewcoon3820

Pauls POV West Virginia did secede from the state of Virginia. Basically, 55 counties in WV left the Confederate states. The Abolitionists in Wheeling WV (The First Capital) voted to secede. WV was admitted to the union June 23, 1863. It did however, permit slavery for a few years. Why? It was to appease those who didn't want to secede from the Confederate states.

I'd have to agree with Keith on that one, just because, economically speaking, it would have been wiser not to force every business and public building to build 2 bathrooms and 2 water fountains and deny business to a whole swarth of the population. The only one law that seems a little bit economically smart was the law that require black males to get a job. They'd settle for anything in order to avoid arrest, despite how poorly they were paid. It featured heavily in "a confederacy of dunces"

secession is not unconstitutional. it is an American tradition. we seceded from Britain. we have a right to alter, change, or abolish our form of government.

I figure if I targeted kids and humans I would hit 95% of everyone. I reserve 5% for the possibility of Aliens amongst us.

I have a question I thought the civil war was fought to free the slaves Lincoln himself was morally against it and the only reason the Emancipation proclamation did not free all the slaves was because of Lincolns want and need for the boarder states. Fredrick Douglass also said granted many years later that when Lincoln talked about slavery he was greatly against it it would have also been unwise for Lincoln to claim the war was for slavery because of the prejudice of many people in the North and in the needed boarder states also because of public opinion and its impact at the end of the war ( made greater by cameras and the pictures getting out to the public) if Lincoln claimed it was for slavery he would have been forced to sign the early peace he did not want to. Lastly Lincoln himself said in a speech that he though black should have the right to vote and many think that if he had lived he would have been more of a radical Republican not a moderate just interested in business. If you take the time to read and respond to all of that it would be greatly appreciated. :)

The radical Republicans also made ex confederate soilders which fueled paramilitary groups.

Reconstruction is at the heart and soul of what America has always been about. And like reconstruction America is a failure.

bruh

President Johnson and John Wilkes Booth screwed everything up during the reconstruction era. If Lincoln were a lot of reconstruction would’ve went a lot differently. However Thaddeus Stevens and his crew along with the radical Republicans were fighting and budding heads with Johnson. The radical Republicans finally over powered Johnson. So was both Johnson and the radical Republicans that messed everything up, during reconstruction. If everyone would have just done what Lincoln had said to do any reconstruction would’ve been a complete success instead of a partial success. The radical Republicans along with the union soldiers of the north We’re just us guilty as the Democrats and the citizens in the south. Both the north and the south Republicans and Democrats didn’t properly work together so therefore it was both of their fault that reconstruction was a failure. The only big success of reconstruction was the south was readmitted back into the union and there was instituted the 13th 14th and 15th amendments in the south made new State constitutions and set up new state governments (no matter what whether the old state governors or new state governors either way black people we’re going to have their rights restricted). Johnson should’ve not restored The Old former state governors back into power. Maybe if he would’ve done but Lincoln said from the beginning he probably could’ve controlled the radical Republicans better. But the radical Republicans should not have had the agenda to punish the south. They should not have tried to restrict white people from voting who they felt were eating the confederacy during the time of the Civil War nor should they have let black people hold office in the south (I hear black people held office in the south during that time it was not just in congress but black people held office in the north as well as the south maybe maybe not?) if they held office in the south I believe The radical Republicans were wanting to do to punish the south. What they should have done was let the south south reconstruct like Lincoln said and then the north should have taken control of the black people and educated them and gave educated black people the right to vote like Lincoln said and slowly integrate it black and white together. That one is been an easy task but still it might’ve worked that way. Both north and south were at fault, they didn’t work together... however to be fair I think the north overtime during the time of reconstruction simmer down and backed off the south a little but at the same time they were trying to patiently tell the south what to do and how to run things. They still as a matter fact had union soldiers in the south even after all the states were readmitted back into the union to keep order. A lot of those union soldiers I’m sure wanted to go home they probably could’ve cared less if black people had equal rights. I mean hey the same deal was in the north maybe much more so in the south but still the north did the same thing. They were probably thinking to themselves “this is useless, we completed our mission these people are back in the union slavery is in debt and black people may not have full rights but they have a couple of rides so now we need to go home there’s even educated black people that can vote I think it’s stupid that the radical Republicans want to put black people in office in Southern states I mean these people are stupid they’re just putting black people in danger.” Nor the nurse would probably call them colored or Negroes or even much worse “ Niggers.” But southerners were famous for doing two-to-three times more the Northerners. Again if everyone both South and “ even north” (DON’T mean to pick on the north, but I emphasize on the north because everyone wants to blame the south for the Civil War and the south for the reconstruction and wants to treat the north like they did nothing wrong they were perfect they were Saintly they were good they were wonderful they were kind and the south deserve to be punished and the north was right on everything they did which is not at all true there were human beings and they were sinners just like the south). And forgive me I’m not trying to sound prejudiced and racist I just think the north should’ve separated the blacks for their protection from Southerners, (didn’t make a difference if they were KKK members or regular citizens almost all of them were the same) The north and the radical Republicans as well as the moderate Republicans should have been in charge of the blacks and educated them and not let them hold office in the south. Black people back then could have any right like white people and could vote like white people but they should not have let them hold office in the south during that time if they did so because all they did was put black people in danger of being attacked and abused and persecuted in every which way possible even to the point of death. Putting them in office in Southern States put them jeopardy. In fact this is also why white southerners in the south fought in the Civil War they did not want to be rude by black people. They were afraid the north west going to put them under subjugation under black people and it sounds like that’s what the north did. (some people may think I’m going with the loss cause version of the Civil War as well as the lost cause version of reconstruction I hope I’m not, because after all the radical Republicans did want to punish the south, and they did have an agenda) should have let the south self reconstruct they should a flat whites are the nearest run this out the way they wanted to run it the only thing the south will not be in charge of would be the black people. They still could’ve instituted the 13th 14th and 15th amendments. To the constitution. But I don’t know I’m just a regular old person who has done his best to study the Civil War and Reconstruction. It happened the way it happened and that’s that it is what it is. There were segregation in the north as well as the south however the South had much heavier segregation then the rest of the United States. But segregation existed before the Civil War. And after the Civil War it existed. Only the south was the only section of the United States that had the Jim Crow laws when the north and the west didn’t have the Jim Crow laws. (at least this is what I heard) they were free blacks in the north and even in the south. There were even slaves in the north But much more so in the south. By 1850 the last northern state which was Pennsylvania freed it’s slaves fully. Yes slavery was wrong and it was horrible crawled vicious terrible inhumane just like segregation especially the Jim Crow segregated south. But there was nothing you can do about it segregation both the north and the south the east to west throughout the whole United States but especially in the south was going to happen and it did but it ended with the civil rights movement in 1968.

I understand where ur coming from, w/ the economic argument but I am putting my money on pure hate. I think the motivation was in maintaining their cultural system. Whites were raised with the virus of racism for generations and with their belief in superiority being put in risk, they reacted. It is not as if they treated blacks any better in the "good" times This went on for 80 years after Reconstruction. So double or nothing, pure hate.
