Question

Which of the following best characterizes the record of Reconstruction governments?

a. Southerners gradually accepted the equality of African Americans
b. President Andrew Johnson supported the reforms
c. The South was occupied with troops to enforce the reforms
d. The Compromise of 1877

Answer 1

Option B, President Andrew Johnson supported the reforms

Step-by-step explanation:

The 1867 Republican administrations came into power via the South underneath the provisions of the Reconstruction Act, giving a real share of political authority to the Black, for the very first time in American history.

President Andrew Johnson put into practice a reconstruction plan which provided the White South with a free hand in order to regulate the shift from slavery to freedom and did not offer any role to the Blacks in the politics of the South.

Despite agreed restoration policies the conclusion of the Civil War saw the State.

President Andrew Jeanson offered in May 1865 amnesty and permission to build new governments to all white South residents, except Confederate and wealthy planters (although most of them received voluntary pardons).
