 The Reconstruction was a very tumultuous time in the history of America. it happened directly after the Civil War it got started during the war by President Abraham Lincoln and he even had an amazing setup planned for the reconstruction. Sadly it never happened because of his untimely death at the hands of John Wilkes Booth. His predecessor Andrew Johnson followed the plans of Reconstruction that Abraham Lincoln had planned out. The steps that Andrew Jhonson took were very lenient in terms of dealing with the south he thought that he could just bring them back into the union and free all the slaves. Yet there were people in the senate called the radical republicans that hated how lenient he was and tried passing several bills that allowed them control of the southern land even going so far as to put generals in charge of the southern states but instead of them as states they would be five districts all run by separate generals.
