Answer 2

Question 1

The correct answer is option A. "African Americans achieved economic equality with whites in the south". One of the principal successes of the reconstruction era was the freedom of African Americans, however, economic equality was not found in the south as white race prejudice persisted.

Question 2

The correct answer is option D. "African-American males gain the right to vote". During the reconstruction era congress passed the Fifteenth Amendment (1870), which guaranteed black men the constitutional right to vote. In consequence, African-American males gaining the right to vote was not a failure of the reconstruction era but a success.
