Question

64. Many historians say that Reconstruction was both a success and a failure. Give a specific example of both

one successful policy from Reconstruction and one policy that did not accomplish its goals. Do you believe that

Reconstruction was a success or a failure overall? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

I think Reconstruction was a success overall

Step-by-step explanation:

I would consider the Reconstruction an overall success. I think this because the United States was finally the "United" States and people of all color and race were finally not separated from white people. The Reconstruction ended separation between the North and South. Each state in the South had a new draft of their state constitution. There were new amendments that were added to the Constitution, the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments. Reconstruction also granted equal rights to people of all color. So, Overall, I think Reconstruction was a success.

Answer 2

It was a success in my opinion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reconstruction was both a success and a failure because the goal of united America was accomplished by defeating the army of Confederate while the goal of implementation of fourteen amendment i. e. providing civil rights to all slaves in the whole country was not accomplished which was a failure of Reconstruction. Reconstruction was a success because it achieved its goal of united America by defeating Confederate army.
