Title

Speech of Hon. J.W. Nesmith of Oregon, on reconstruction, delivered in the Senate of the United States, January 18, 1866.

Subject

Reconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877)
United States -- Politics and government -- 1865-1869.

Description

Nesmith compares the President's Reconstruction plan to that of the Radical Republicans. He states that the rebel states had already accepted the condition that they repudiate the debts incurred by the rebellion, so an amendment preventing them from raising taxes to pay the debts is unnecessary. He also points out that the states have already accepted the emancipation amendment. As such, he is on the side of moderate, not radical, Reconstruction.
