As we continue on with U.S. Reconstruction, we find that new president Andrew Johnson is at odds with the Republican Congress. President Johnson lets the South re-form their governments and send new representatives back to Washington DC. There are hardly any punishments given to any Southern military leaders or government officials. Upon their return to the U.S., Southerners sent their former Confederate leaders and war heroes to serve in the new Congress. We also find that the newly free slaves, called "Freedmen" have to follow separate rules, called "black codes", from white people and are being discriminated against at every turn.
