Some of the successes of Reconstruction efforts included:
Ratification of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, which abolished slavery, granted citizenship and equal protection under the law to African Americans, and gave them the right to vote.
Establishment of the Freedmen's Bureau, which provided education, housing, and medical care to newly freed slaves.
Creation of public schools in the South to provide education to African American children.
Reconstruction policies resulted in the election of many African Americans to public office, including two U.S. Senators and fourteen Congressmen.
limitations include:
Resistance from Southern whites who opposed equal rights for African Americans. This resistance led to the rise of the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups that used violence and intimidation to maintain white supremacy.
Economic hardship in the South, which was devastated by the war and struggled to rebuild its infrastructure and economy.
Political corruption and mismanagement, including the "carpetbagger" and "scalawag" politicians who were accused of exploiting the South for their own gain.
Limited resources and funding for Reconstruction efforts, which were often hindered by political opposition in the North.
It should have continued longer because it would have also given the South more time to recover from the devastation of the war and to establish a more stable and prosperous economy.

The U.S should have had a moral obligation to help rebuild and stabilize countries that have been affected by wars involving U.S. military intervention. Reconstruction efforts can help to restore infrastructure, rebuild communities, and create conditions for sustainable peace and stability. *This is an opinion tho*
