RECONSTRUCTION [APUSH Review Unit 5 Topic 10] Period 5: 1844-1877

AP HEIMLER REVIEW GUIDE (formerly known as the Ultimate Review Packet):

Instagram: @heimlers_history

In this video Heimler takes you through Unit 5 Topic 10 of the AP U.S. History curriculum which is set in period 5 (1844-1877).

After the Civil War had come to a conclusion, the burning question was this: should the South be treated as a wayward sibling or as a conquered foe? If Lincoln had had his way, the South would have reentered the Union with the lowest barriers possible (known as the Ten Percent Plan). However, with Lincoln's assassination, Andrew Johnson assumed the presidency and his clash with the Radical Republicans in Congress was legendary.

The Radical Republicans wanted to punish the South for the Civil War and furthermore wanted the process of Reconstruction to fall within congressional power, not presidential influence. And they largely got what they wanted, and the recently defeated Southerners grew bitter with the imposition of new constitutional amendments and civil rights laws like the Civil Rights Act of 1866. Ultimately, the heavy handed congressional Reconstruction project would fail.

If you have any questions, leave them below and Heimler shall answer forthwithly.

This video is aligned with the AP U.S. History Curriculum and Exam Description for Unit 5 Topic 10, and all the key concepts thereunto appertaining.

7:41 - 7:50. That trick actually helped me in class today. Even my teacher was surprised by that Trick.

Great video! I appreciate everything that you do, these vids are super helpful. Would you mind adding this video to your APUSH Unit 5 YouTube playlist? I think it slipped away, I'm just glad it popped up in my recommended videos so I didn't miss it.
