I am not kidding:
(1) The radicals made their own reconstruction plan called Radical Reconstruction: to rejoin the union each state had to A) adopt a new constitution that allowed all citizens the right to vote B) elect a new government C) ratify or approve the 14th amendment and D) no white southern who had been a confederate soldier or official could vote on new state constitutions
(2) Johnson was almost impeached but got to stay in office by one vote until his presidential term was up.
(3) Negative terms like carpetbaggers and scalawags continued to be used throughout the south to cause more tension
(4) Ulysses S. Grant becomes the new president of the United States and supports Radical Reconstitution, shortly after taking office Congress supports the 15th amendment which gives all citizens the right to vote
(5) By 1870 all southern states had rejoined the union under the new radical plan
Once again: Not kidding, got it from my US History Book, so I don't understand it, help
