What was a characteristic of the Congressional plan for Reconstruction?

b: Requirements for voter registration would be revised.

c: Black Codes that limited the rights of African Americans would be ignored.

d: Many Confederate leaders would be allowed to return to office.

Respuesta :

Answer: C

Explanation:

In 1866, many Americans felt that the Union had not been adequately reconstructed, that the way freedom had been defined for black Americans was not adequate, and that Presidential Reconstruction had led to neither healing nor justice. As a result, a majority Republican Congress was elected and pushed for the passage of the Reconstruction Acts of 1867, which enacted the plan that became known as Radical Reconstruction. Here, measures of those laws are laid out. This is Handout 7.4 (p. 124) of The Reconstruction Era and the Fragility of Democracy.  

C: Black codes that limited the rights of African Americans would be ignored
