The great results of the war were embodied in the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments, whose logical outcome is the "New South" of to-day. It will be noticed, however, that before the adoption of the last two amendments there was a bitter contest between Congress and President Johnson. The President's plan of "restoration" was radically different from the Congressional plan of reconstruction. Congress declared that the two essen tial conditions of the readmission of the seceded States were, (1) The freedmen should vote, and (2) The Southern leaders should not vote. This was in name and fact a rebuilding of that social structure in the South which the Civil War had demolished. Alexander Johnston, in Lalor's Cyclopædia, III., pp. 540-556, discusses the troublesome question of reconstruction in all its bearings. The impeachment of the President is another exceedingly interesting chapter in this series of battles between the executive and legislative departments. In speaking of foreign relations during the Civil War we commented upon the hostile attitude of Napoleon III. toward the United States. This hostility was further illustrated when he contemptuously disregarded the Monroe Doctrine and the wishes of the Mexican people, by sending Maximilian with a French army to Mexico. The United States was too busy then with disturbances at home to interfere with Napoleon's ambitious schemes. But after the close of the Civil War the French Monarch was informed that it would be "gravely inconvenient" to the United States for the French troops to remain any longer in Mexico. They did not remain, and the weak, misguided Maximilian met his death. ULYSSES S. GRANT'S ADMINISTRATION (TWO TERMS, 1869-1877).
