Plans of Reconstruction The plans of reconstruction were, as the name would make one guess, to enact a reconstruction of the Southern American states that were a part of the Confederacy, after the defeat of said states during the American Civil War. Among other things, they intended to protect the rights of newly enfranchised African-Americans, often times using the Army in order to enforce the Civil Rights Act and to supress violence. It was hoped that in the end, after reconstruction, the south would be modernized ready to join the north again as equals in the rights afforded to their citizens. 2.Wade-Davis Bill A bill proposed 1864; In contrast to President Lincoln's plan to allow a state back into the Union after 10% of its voters were to take pledge of allegience to the U.S and emancipation, it required a majority in each former Confederate state, a majority of voters taking an oath that they never before supported the Confederacy. 3.Black Codes Were laws passed mostly in the Southern states restricting the movement and enjoyment of the legal rights of Blacks, succeeding the repealed slave codes after the civil war. 4.13th, 14, 15th Amendments The 13th Amendment abolished slavery The 14th Amendment established that all persons born in the United States [and not citizens of or loyal to another country] were citizens, notably abolishing the precedent of the Dred Scott v. Sandford decision that said that African Americans were not and could not become citizens. The 15th Amendment established the right to vote to all citizens. Importantly, it let the now-citizen freed black men vote. 5.Compromise of 1877 This compromise settled an election dispute between the Democrat Tilden and the Republican Hayes, allowing Hayes to win in exchange for an essential end to reconstruction; the removal of federal troops from confederate states, the appointment of one southern democrat to haye's cabinet, and the construction of a railroad in the south, along with help to industrialize the South. 6.Sewards Folly A purchase of the territory that would become Alaska from russia by a ratified treaty, and initiated by the Secretary of State Seward. Initially, it was thought to be worthless, but little did they know!

7.Ku Klux Klan Act 1871 Also known as the Civil Rights Act of 1871, It gave power to the executive branch to make sure the 15th Amendment was followed, and set up a framework within which rights abuses could be remedied. 8.State Railroad Commission [?] 9.Crazy Horse Sitting Bull Two Native-American tribal leaders that led their people against battles with the U.S. Army at the battle of little bighorn, which they won. Unfortunately though, in the end they both were killed by government officials. 10.Business Culture of the Gilded Age The GIlded age was the time period after reconstruction, which was a period of great development, of national industry, ecnomy, technology, politics, and socity. It saw the rise of the super rich-inudstrialists, rockefeller, mellon, carnegie and such, who in the end set much of their fortunes aside to charitable purposes. 11.John D. Rockefeller Standard Oil A company that slowly grew, and used agressive business tactics to drive its competitors out of business, one of the many monopolies taht came out of the gilded age, and became on of the first multinational corporations. 12.Andrew Carnegie US Steel Carnegie started his own steel company, which eventually bought and merged with other steel companies to form US Steel, making him the second richest man after Rockefeller- he used much of his profits to fund philanthropic efforts 13.Mugwumps Republican cativists who suported the democrat Grover Cleveland, dissatisfied with their candidate, James G. Blaine. 14.Interstate Commerce Act An act regulating the railroad industry, requiring of it resonable rates and publicization of them, and other forms of discrimination in shipping rates, along with forming the ICC to look over the industry. This was the first of many such acts to come. 15.Sherman Anti-Trust Act An act passed in 1890 prohibiting many business practices that act only to reduce competition. The first of several antitrust laws, wasn't used to

bust monopolies much until Roosevelt became president. 16.Free Silver A policy of using silver for coinage too, it would ahve promoted inflation, and was supported by the farmers and the south and the poor in general, since it would reduce the value of their debts, and not supported by industry and bankers for the same reason. 17.Dawes Act This act allowed the president to look over Native American tribal land and divide it amonst them. Indians didn't have ownge of land as part of their culture, so it was figured the first step into assimilation was for them to be given ownage of it. 18.Robber Barron A term given to 19th century industrialists first spawned by the gilded age, that amassed large amounts of wealth, percieved to have done so at the expense of the average American. 19.Plessy v. Ferguson 1896 Supported racial segregation as long as it was "seperate but equal" 20.Farmers collectives Granges/Alliances Precursors to the Populist Party [see 21], political organizations of farmers collectively acting to improve prices for their crops. 21.Populist Party James B. Weaver 1892 Based mostly among poor cottoon and wheat farmers, it was a part against banks and railroads mostly, which it saw as repressive [since they dictated at what price they could sell [commodity brokers(banks)] and how much they had to pay to get their crops around [raildroads]]. It eventually melted into the Democrat party. 22.William Jennings Bryan 23.American Federation of labor 24.Knights of Labor 25.Contradiction of Race and American Domestic Policy 26.Imperialism 27.Our Country (1885) by Josiah Strong 28.Election of 1896 (Mckinley v.
