Deffense [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

c. The Congress acted as the Colonial Government and  attempted to settle disputes with English Parliament by sending  the King the "Olive Branch Petition".

Explanation:

In response to the fighting at Lexington and Concord, swift actions were taken by the Second Continental Congress and the immediate one was that a petition was sent to King George III, which was named the  Olive Branch Petition. This document constitutes that they wanted to live in peace with Britain.  They proclaimed their allegiance to the King and demanded that the Intolerable Acts be repealed. But the appeal was denied by Great Britain.

What are the differences and similarities between the reconstruction plans of Lincoln, Johnson, and the congressional Republican
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Lincoln’s Plan

Abraham Lincoln had thought about the process of restoring the Union

from the earliest days of the war. His guiding principles were to

accomplish the task as rapidly as possible and ignore calls for

punishing the South.

Johnson’s Plan

The looming showdown between Lincoln and the Congress over

competing reconstruction plans never occurred. The president was

assassinated on April 14, 1865. His successor, Andrew Johnson of

Tennessee, lacked his predecessor’s skills in handling people; those

skills would be badly missed.

Johnson’s plan envisioned the following:

• Pardons would be granted to those taking a loyalty oath

• No pardons would be available to high Confederate officials

and persons owning property valued in excess of $20,000

• A state needed to abolish slavery before being readmitted

• A state was required to repeal its secession ordinance before

being readmitted.

The Radical Republicans’ Own Plan

The postwar Radical Republicans were motivated by three main

factors:

1. Revenge — a desire among some to punish the South for

causing the war

2. Concern for the freedmen — some believed that the federal

government had a role to play in the transition of freedmen

from slavery to freedom

3. Political concerns — the Radicals wanted to keep the

Republican Party in power in both the North and the South.

On the political front, the Republicans wanted to maintain their

wartime agenda, which included support for:

• Protective tariffs

• Pro-business national banking system

• Liberal land policies for settlers

• Federal aid for railroad development
