Please go to each of the following links to find information on the different plans for reconstruction after the civil war. At each link there is a small section which you will need to read. After you have read each plan use your reconstruction chart to fill in the corresponding categories. We have already discussed the different plans in class, so this part of the assignment should be mostly review for you. In the last row, where it states "Other interesting observations may go here", this is where you may put YOUR OWN opinion. Why do you think one plan is better than the rest? What makes it the best? Which plan do you think is the worst? What makes it the worst (in your opinion)? Which plan would benefit the majority of the States re-entering the Union? These are all questions that you need to consider while filling in the chart.
Lincoln's Reconstruction Plan
Johnson's Reconstruction Plan
Radical Republican's Plan
Initial Congressional Plan
**Note: Keep your chart with you. You will need it later to complete your final project. So, do not loose it!**
Abraham Lincoln
