6.       How did the following impact Reconstruction and the impeachment of President Johnson:

13th Amendment: In January 1865, while Lincoln was still president, the U.S. Congress passed the 13th Amendment to the Constitution abolishing slavery. Many Southern states quickly passed laws called the Black Codes, which prevented black people from gaining equal jobs and education. Andrew Johnson became president after the 13th Amendment passed and he supported the efforts of Southern governors to enforce the Black Codes.

Civil Rights Act of 1866:  The Civil Rights Act of 1866 gave all people living in the United States the full rights of citizenship President Johnson and many other Democrats fought against the bill. Johnson vetoed the bill, but the Republican-controlled Congress overrode the veto.

The 14th Amendment: In 1866, Congress passed the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It prevented the states from denying all citizens their rights under the laws of the United States. President Johnson vetoed the amendment and said, "This is a country for white men, and by God, as long as I am President, it shall be a government for white men.” Congress overrode the presidential veto.

Reconstruction Acts:  When most Southern states did not ratify the 14th Amendment, Radical Republicans pushed passage of the Reconstruction Act in March 1867. This act forced the Southern states to ratify the 14th Amendment and follow the new laws granting former slaves citizenship and equal rights. The South was divided into military districts controlled by U.S. soldiers. Black people were allowed to vote in new elections. After each state ratified the 14th Amendment, that state was allowed back into the United States. President Johnson vetoed this law, but Congress overrode his veto. Johnson argued that black men should only be given the vote when they were able to pass a literacy test.  Congress passed several other Reconstruction Acts as well; one allowed the military to register all voters and control the elections. As a result of these rules, each state approved or ratified the 14th Amendment and once again became a part of the United States.

The Radical Republicans of Congress worked hard to give former slaves the full rights of citizenship. President Johnson vetoed many of the laws passed and also worked hard to make sure black people did not get equal rights. The dispute over Reconstruction constantly pitted President Johnson against Congress.  Congress tried to impeach President Johnson.  The impeachment vote passed in the House of Representatives but failed to pass the Senate by one vote.
