Set aside the Sea Islands and a large area along the South Carolina and Georgia coasts for settlement of black families on 40 acres plots of land

Liberating - blacks worshiped freely, traveled around, sought out family members, and expanded their political freedoms

It increased the power of black men, brought the notion that black men and women were part of different "spheres," and that women were able to work more in the home for their families, rather than out in the fields

A place of worship, housed schools, social events, and also played a major role in politics

Methodists and Baptists

The nation's first black college, which was located at the nation's capital

Planters lost their savings, which were invested into Confederate bonds, lost their slaves, and some actually had to put in their own physical labor to survive

Free labor - emancipated blacks would be able to enjoy the same opportunities for advancement as the northern laborers and the South would become a "free society"

Coordinated and helped finance black education and expanded the establishment of hospitals to provide medical care

Sharecropping allowed black families to rent a part of a plantation, with the crop divided between the family and the owner; was preferred to gang labor because they were not constantly supervised by the land owner

The crop-lien system was where yeoman farmers had to take up growing cotton and pledge it as part of their collateral, in order to obtain necessary supplies from merchants; sharecroppers ended up renting out their already rented land to the yeoman farmers

The right to own a homestead

New social classes were developed, the cities grew remarkably, and railroads connected the cities together

He considered himself an "honest yeoman" against the large planters and was the only senator from the seceding states to stay loyal to the Union

Denied blacks their rights to testify against whites, serve on juries or militias, or vote, and when freedmen working on plantations refused to sign yearly labor contracts, they were to be arrested or hired out to whites

To confiscate the plantation owners' lands to redistribute to former slaves and northern immigrants

Defined all persons born in the US as citizens and spelled out rights that they were able to enjoy, without regard to race. The main concept of this bill was equality before the law

That the power of the national government would grow, depriving the states of their autonomy, and that blacks did not deserve the right to become citizens, because that would be "discriminating against the white population"

It granted citizenship to all persons born in the US, which empowered the government to protect the rights of all Americans. It was important because it prohibited states from abridging the privileges or immunities of citizens or denying them equal protection of the law

The Reconstruction Act, which temporarily divided the South into 5 military districts and called for the construction of new state governments, where black men could vote

Barred the president from removing certain officeholders, including cabinet members, without the consent of the state

African-Americans were given the right to vote, thus completing abolishing slavery and it's ideas

Prohibited federal and state governments from denying any citizen the right to vote because of race

Being women's rights advocates, they didn't know whether or not to support the 15th Amendment, because it did not do anything to help women gain suffrage

That women were not equal to men; the Supreme Court declared that free labor principles did not apply to women since "the law of the Creator" had assigned them to the "domestic sphere"

They took part in sit-ins that integrated horse-drawn public streetcars in cities across the South, plantation owners organized strikes for higher wages, speakers spread across the South, thousands joined the Union league, and blacks registered to vote

They changed southern life, ensuring that black accused of crimes would be judged fairly and had fairness in aspects of local government

Senators; first two blacks to serve in the U.S. Senate

That the northern public was "tired out" by southern problems

The Redeemers

Republicans nominated Governor Rutherford Hayes, while the Democrats chose Samuel Tilden. Only SC, FL, and LA were under Republican control, so whichever candidate could win over these states would win the election. Congress ended up having to make a 15-member Electoral, which was 8-7 Republican, so Hayes was elected

That Hayes would have to recognize Democratic control of the South, place a southerner in the cabinet position of postmaster general, and work for federal aid to the Texas and Pacific railroad, while Democrats agreed to not dispute Hayes's right to office and respect the civil and political rights of blacks (railroad promise never fulfilled)
