Describe the rival plans for Reconstruction after the Civil War. What were the primary differences?
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

although it was not easy but I will tell you the little I know

Explanation:

From 1863 until his death, President Abraham Lincoln took a moderate position on Reconstruction of the South and proposed plans to bring the South back into the Union as quickly and easily as possible. During this time, the Radical Republicans used Congress to block Lincoln’s moderate approach. They sought to impose harsh terms on the South, thinking Lincoln’s approach too lenient, as well as to upgrade the rights of freedmen (former slaves). The moderate position, held both by Lincoln and Vice President Andrew Johnson (who took over the presidency after Lincoln’s death), prevailed until the election of 1866, at which point the Radicals were able to take control of policy, remove former Confederates from power, and enfranchise the freedmen. A Republican coalition came to power in nearly all of the Southern states and set out to transform the society by setting up a free-labor economy, with support from the army and the Freedmen’s Bureau.

Lincoln’s Plan for Reconstruction

During the American Civil War in December 1863, Abraham Lincoln offered a model for reinstatement of Southern states called the “10 Percent Plan.” It decreed that a state could be reintegrated into the Union when 10 percent of the 1860 vote count from that state had taken an oath of allegiance to the United States and pledged to abide by emancipation. Voters then could elect delegates to draft revised state constitutions and establish new state governments. All Southerners, except for high-ranking Confederate Army officers and government officials, would be granted a full pardon. Lincoln guaranteed Southerners that he would protect their private property, though not their slaves. By 1864, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Arkansas had established fully functioning Unionist governments.

This policy was meant to shorten the war by offering a moderate peace plan. It was also intended to further Lincoln’s emancipation policy by insisting that the new governments abolish slavery. Lincoln’s reconstructive policy toward the South was lenient because he wanted to popularize his Emancipation Proclamation. Lincoln feared that compelling enforcement of the proclamation could lead to the defeat of the Republican Party in the election of 1864, and that popular Democrats could overturn his proclamation. Lincoln’s plan successfully began the Reconstruction process of ratifying the Thirteenth Amendment in all states.

Is the United States a developing country? explain
meriva

Answer:

Yes and no.

Explanation:

USA, of course is a very highly developed and advanced country but developed country is defined on many parameters and in many of those parameters USA is not on the top. What you probably meant to say is it being the largest economy in the world and yes it is the world’s largest economy as of Dec 2016. At this point US is still considered a developed country. In fact the definition itself was based on US to begin with. US had major advantages after WW2 that they utilized very well for development but as others are catching up US seems to be falling behind in most areas.
