Presidential Reconstruction
In 1865 President Andrew Johnson implemented a plan of Reconstruction that gave the white South a free hand in regulating the transition from slavery to freedom and offered no role to blacks in the politics of the South. The conduct of the governments he established turned many Northerners against the president's policies.
The end of the Civil War found the nation without a settled Reconstruction policy.
In May 1865, President Andrew Johnson offered a pardon to all white Southerners except Confederate leaders and wealthy planters (although most of these later received individual pardons), and authorized them to create new governments.
The Mississippi is important to American because of how long it is. It starts in Minnesota and drains into the gulf of Mexico. Many people have built their homes along and near the "Mighty Mississippi" because you can transport goods down it via boat to many states, you can use it to farm and get water to dry locations and grow many crops. It's used for hydroelectric power for large cities, it drains off flood water to prevent flooding in the Midwest. It was very important during the civil war and many boats battled for control of it. And it's a lot cheaper and faster to transport on the river than on the road, it has many dams that help local economies and create job opportunities for locals.
