Explanation:

Analyze the Richmond Bread Riot

The Richmond Bread Riot occurred on April 2, 1863, in the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia. Due to the Union blockade, high inflation, and severe food shortages, many families struggled to survive. Women, desperate to feed their families, marched to the governor's office and eventually looted stores for bread and other basic provisions. Therefore, the riot took place because women wanted enough food to feed their families.

Analyze Lincoln's Ten Percent Plan

President Abraham Lincoln's Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction (the Ten Percent Plan) was introduced in December 1863. It offered a general pardon to most white Southerners who took an oath of allegiance, required 10 percent of the 1860 voting population to take this oath to establish a new state government, and declared that these restored states would draft new constitutions. It did NOT require 90 percent of Southerners to give up their voting rights for 10 years.

Identify the Southern Redeemers

During the Reconstruction era, the "Redeemers" were a political coalition in the South. They sought to oust the Radical Republican coalition of freedmen, carpetbaggers, and scalawags. Their self-proclaimed mission was to return the South to its pre-Civil War social and political order, ending what they termed "Northern oppression and black rule."
