The Western Front was the main theatre of war during the First World War. Following the outbreak of war in August 1914, the German Army opened the Western Front by invading Luxembourg and Belgium, then gaining military control of important industrial regions in France. The tide of the advance was dramatically turned with the Battle of the Marne. Following the Race to the Sea, both sides dug in along a meandering line of fortified trenches, stretching from the North Sea to the Swiss frontier with France, which changed little except during early 1917 and in 1918.

They wanted to rebuild the South back so Johnson announced the plan of "Reconstruction". That reflected in both Unionism and in the state's rights. With the help of the Union army, the lands were built back.
Thus the rebuilt lands were provided to the freed slaves by the Freedmen Bureau and Union Army. The Reconstruction plan existed till 1877 and it stopped due to the rise of southern whites' violence.
