1. I can explain why Reconstruction failed.

• Johnson was for the 13th amendment but didn't want freedman to have civil rights.
•  Once free Freedman didn't have any thing so they turned to sharecropping which eventually lead them into debt and poverty.

2. I can explain how the Dred Scott decision lead to the civil war.

• Dred Scott did not get civil rights.
• Abolitions were angry about the decision, but people for slavery were excited about the decision.

3. I can explain the differences between the 2 major political parties during Reconstruction.

• Radical Republicans wanted to end slavery and let every citizen have civil rights.

• Johnson wanted to keep slavery and only let whites have civil rights.

• 13th Amendment abolished slavery.

• 15th Amendment gave the right for any male citizen the right to vote.
