The Civil War

Lesson 14 Activities Reconstruction

 

Research carpet baggers. Answer these questions:

  • Why did many Northerners go to the South after the Civil War?
  • Why did the Southerners hat the carpetbaggers
  • How did the military rule help the now freed slaves?
  • How did the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments change the Constitution?

Have students draw a political cartoon about Reconstruction from the point of view of a freed slave or a Confederate soldier.
