Reconstruction
Reconstruction took place after the end of the civil war, and it also was impacted by social, economic, and political. The main reason for reconstruction was to put the union back together and free the slaves once and for all. Reconstruction took three eras to be completed. The first was Lincoln, the second was Andrew Johnson, and the third was the Congressional Reconstruction. After the civil war, South cities were destroyed serious in 1865, but North cities did not. In economic aspect, economic life had creaked to a halt. Banks and business houses had locked their doors, ruined by runaway inflation. Factories were smokeless, silent, and dismantled. The transportation system had broken down completely. In social crisis, the main problem was slaves. At this time the labor force in the South had about 4 million slaves. These slaves were very valuable to the slaveholding planter class. They were a huge investment to Southerners and if taken away, could mean massive losses to everyone. Slaves were used in the South as helpers in the fields in the cultivation of tobacco, rice, and indigo, as well as many other jobs. The South especially needed more slaves at this time because they were now growing more cotton then ever
