How Successful Was Reconstruction?

Instructions: Step 1, gather evidence (statistics, events, and examples) from your textbook and class lectures concerning Reconstruction and its relation to African American rights from the end of the Civil War to the later 1800s.

Step 2, analyze the evidence. Write what YOU find to be the most significant evidence to the question of how successful Reconstruction was for African Americans. Note that “success” is a relative term, and that essentially no event is totally successful or totally a failure. Be specific with your evidence in describing what worked well, what did not, and why.

Step 3, communicate your findings honestly to yourself and others. In this formal analytical argument, write a 2-3 page minimum paper (plus a Works Cited Page, which does not count in your page count), showing your conclusions from your analyses, and the copious evidence (statistics, events, and examples) that led you to those conclusions.
