Was congressional reconstruction more about racial equality or political power?

History

inna [77]3 years ago
7 0

It could be argued that Congressional Reconstruction was more about political power than racial equality. Even though Congressional Reconstruction is going to help African-Americans gain new freedoms in American society, it is ultimately based on the Northern Republicans desire for political power. Many members of the Republican Party, known as Radical Republicans, wanted to punish the South for their role in starting the Civil War. In this case, the Radical Republicans wanted to ensure that after this war, the individuals who lead the secession movement in the Southern states would not gain power. This is why many Republicans refused to include newly elected Southerners in Congressional affairs during the Reconstruction period.

What is the difference between slavery tolerated because of "necessity" and slavery affirmed as a "moral right"?
malfutka [58]

Slavery tolerated because of "necessity" means that you do not really want to do it, but you think you must do it. An example is when you have a farm and you need people to work on it. The trouble behind this scenario is that your farm isn’t making money to pay your farm helpers their proper wages, so you resort to slavery. In this case, you do not need money for salaries because your farm is doing well to keep your slaves clothed and fed.

Slavery affirmed as a "moral right" is when you think it is your right to be the master and the slaves deserves to be slaves.
