During the civil war, conflict between the South and the North were one of the most important issues to resolve, in which war occurred unluckily to resolve this issue, and that which Lincoln was unhappy to have happened but it looked like it was necessary, in order to save the Union. As the end of the war approached, the north had its hands in winning which did happened, but a time of restoring peace and save the Union came, best known as the "Reconstruction Period". It was a time of long hardship, and a reconstruction to be accomplished by President Lincoln, but unfortunately, his end came down soon, when he was assassinated , and it was now time for someone to take over the President's office, in which it would be the Vice-President Andrew Johnson and continue with what Lincoln left incomplete, but it was within this task where it all came down for President Johnson, when he was impeached by the government members themselves.
Section I-.
Donald's evaluation of the "Reconstruction Period" is that of great conflicts and concerns among the now free black men and Negroes" freedom in general, and mostly about the state's decision seceding from the Union. Before the War the South was at a good economic condition, after the war economy dropped down dramatically, Donald mentions the issue between the states in their decision about Negroes fate, whether the will be free and be equal to everyone else in all ways as white people. Donald's view of this time period is that in need of a great leader to keep the reconstruction going and save the union. It was the task of the Vice-President to take that duty, Andrew Johnson, but as .
Donald says, "he did not meet the challenge". Everything went going right, but it was until the states decided to secede from the Union, when everything went wrong, and President Andrew Johnson, as the government members see it he wasn't quite the guy to be leading the United States.
