=** Rebuilding the Nation **= === Reconstruction was the plan that came into effect after the Civil War ended. It consisted of a plan to reorganize the southern states into the nation and rebuilding the damage that the war left. Since reconstruction was put in effect the south lacked many many things. Throughout the south, livestock had been killed and plantations and industries had been destroyed. One thing that the south had to change was the way landlords ran their land. Without slaves there was not much help with keeping the land well taken care of. Reconstruction was a major change in the history of the United States. ===
