THE UNITED STATES TIME.

After four years of constant war,and it has finally ended. Solders regain their homes and find their whole environment very different then the way they had left it. It had been destroyed and metamorphosed. They barely recognized it. Also the life style of the people had changed, children had become orphans, women had become widows, and families were destroyed. For the solders this welcome wasn't a warm welcome. Almost nothing was left, the agriculture fields, the factories and the railroads were demolished. 

The slavery was starting to diminish. About four million freed slaves had decided to start a new life an to working in poor regions with slow economics. The ones who decided to stay slaves had received food, water and shelter even thou they are deficient. However many slaves were neglected and abandoned.  Some of them were freed but decided to work at their previous masters fields. The rest moved to the West to find jobs.

After the death of Abraham Lincoln in 1863 President Andrew Johnson taken over. He used to serve as vice president to Lincoln. His services can not be judged yet since he was elected just a few months ago. 

"1. It pardoned southerns who swore allegiance to the Union.

2. It permitted each state to hold a constitutional conventional (with Lincoln's 10 percent allegiance requirement).

3. State were then to void secession, abolish slavery, and repudiate the Confederation debt. 

4. State could then hold elections and rejoin the union." American Pathway textbook

Johnson's Reconstruction Plan was like Lincoln's. Johnson did not have the 10% law in which 10% of voters in the state swore allegiance to the Union. Also Johnson's plan was a lot more generous to the South. It denied the remission of the legal consequences of an event or conviction to all Confederate leaders.
