The Civil War lasted from 1861-1865. After the war, the South was in ruins.
Plans were made to allow the Southern states to rejoin the Union. These plans
were known as RECONSTRUCTION. There were different groups, and each group had a
different plan for how Reconstruction would take place. We will be looking at
the plan that President Lincoln had, the plan that Congress had, and the plan that
the Southerners had for Reconstruction.
