The five main groups involved in plans to rebuild the South after the Civil War were the federal government, including Congress and the Freedmen's Bureau; Southern Democrats; Northern Republicans; African American leaders and communities; and various philanthropic organizations. The federal government aimed to implement Reconstruction policies, while Southern Democrats sought to restore white supremacy and resist reforms. Northern Republicans, particularly Radical Republicans, advocated for civil rights and economic support for freed slaves. African American leaders played a crucial role in advocating for their rights and the establishment of schools and institutions to support their communities.
