Social Studies Question?

Question

Are these answers right?
Freedman were people who had been enslaved before emancipation.

And I need help with this one.
Northereners who moved to the south after the Civil war were sometimes called....what?

Another question- How do you think southerners woulod have reacted to Reconstruction if Lincoln's plan had been followed?

Answer 1

I think the answer to your second question is "carpetbaggers".

And I think that "freedmen" were slaves who had been freed before the Emancipation Proclamation was enacted, so I think your answer is right.

Answer 2

A freedman or freedwoman (gender-neutral: freedperson) is a former slave who has been manumitted or emancipated. Freedmen are a feature of all slave-holding societies.In United States history, the term carpetbagger was a term for Northerners (Yankees) who moved to the South during Reconstruction between 1865 and 1877. It was a derogatory term, suggesting an exploiter who does not plan to stay. The term is now used without derogatory intent by historians and reference works.

Answer 3

Northereners where called Carpetbaggery who went to the south after the civil war.

In April 16, 1862, Congress passed legislation freeing all slaves in the District of Columbia. Blacks from Virginia and elsewhere flocked to the city in search of work and shelter. Already struggling to meet the needs of their impoverished residents by the fall of 1862, the modest freedmen’s camps which the Government had erected in the city were overwhelmed after President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation freeing all slaves in the Confederate states January 1, 1863

Answer 4

"The term Yankee has a variety of meanings. Generally, it refers to citizens of the United States, particularly northerners, especially those white Americans from the Northeastern United States whose ancestors arrived before 1776."

"...the term carpetbagger was a term for Northerners (Yankees) who moved to the South during Reconstruction between 1865 and 1877."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpetbaggers

The American Civil War was between 1861 and 1865 which makes 'Carpetbaggers' the correct answer

Answer 5

The Freedman are men who were able to buy their freedom before the emancipation. I am not sure about the second part of your question but carpetbagger and Yankee sounds about right.
