ss8h6 Reconstruction

Reconstruction had a major impact on Georgia. The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments granted freedom and citizenship to former slaves and guaranteed rights like due process and voting rights. Lincoln's and Johnson's plans focused on quick reunification, while the Congressional plan established military districts and requirements like ratifying the 14th Amendment for readmission. During Reconstruction, many freed slaves engaged in sharecropping and tenant farming, renting land and tools from landowners in exchange for a share of crops, which resembled slavery.
