French and Indian War?
Also known as the seven years war was fought with the french and native americans on one side, vs the british and America, this led to many battles between the two. Most notably was George Washington who led a battle but lost it against the french… he was still hailed as a hero. Brits and US won and this led to France kinda being banished from North America/New World. The settlers wanted to expand westward in the ohio river valley and were doing so when the Proclamation of 1763 was ordered, supposedly preventing settlers from going west. This war also led to a lot of british debt which they passed on to America which angered the colonists eventually leading to the revolutionary war.
Main idea of Reconstruction
Reconstruction after the Civil War, and its main attempt was to reintegrate the south in the Union. There were many different plans to do so like Lincoln’s 10 percent plan. But the one that succeeded was President Johnson who didn’t like African Americans…
He returned confiscated property to white southerners. He issued hundreds of pardons to former Confederate officers and government officials. He undermined the Freedmen's Bureau by ordering it to return all confiscated lands to white landowners.
Johnson also appointed governors to supervise the drafting of new state constitutions and agreed to readmit each state provided it ratified the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery.

Don’t forget that Johnson was impeached- 1st president to be such.
