Directions:
The decade following the Civil War was known as the Reconstruction Era. The men listed below were all governors of South Carolina during this turbulent period—however, they are NOT listed in the order in which they served: • Robert Kingston Scott • Daniel Henry Chamberlain • Benjamin Franklin Perry • James Lawrence Orr • Franklin J. Moses, Jr.
Using these clues, see if you can put the Reconstruction governors in the order that they served:
¾ When he tried to run for his second straight term, Daniel Chamberlain was narrowly defeated by Wade Hampton. This officially ended the Reconstruction period in South Carolina.
¾ The Union government appointed Benjamin Franklin Perry as governor at the end of the Civil War. This began the Reconstruction period in South Carolina.
¾ Robert Kingston Scott’s term as South Carolina’s governor immediately followed the term of James Lawrence Orr.
¾ Franklin J. Moses, Jr. was criticized for being corrupt and for breaking the law while in office. When he took over the office after Franklin Moses left, Governor Daniel Chamberlain promised to end corruption in the state government.
Using the above clues, you should be able to put South Carolina’s five Reconstruction governors in order by term. Write your answer below:
1) (1865)
2) (1865-1868)
3) (1868-1872)
4) (1872-1874)
5) (1874-1877)
Break the Code
As you may know, the Civil War is often called by many other names (such as “The War Between the States” , “The War for State’s Rights” , “The Brothers’ War” , or even “Mr. Lincoln’s War”).
During the years of Reconstruction, the people in South Carolina were very bitter about the results of the Civil War. Many referred to the war by an interesting name. Solve the puzzle below to figure out what that name was.
In this code, the alphabet has shifted back two letters. For example, if you see the letter ‘C’, it is actually the letter ‘A’. The letter ‘D’ is really the letter ‘B’, and so on.
Using the code, find out what many South Carolinians referred to the Civil War during the Reconstruction Era.
