secure the rights guaranteed to former slaves
by constitutional amendments. Reconstruction was an attempt to create a
social and political revolution despite
economic collapse and the opposition of
much of the white South. Under these
conditions, its accomplishments were

They kept changing the laws and it was unfair to African Americans. It also had a lot of violence due to the laws they kept changing. It would have been fair if they just kept it to one thing but the elections and the point of view affect it.

African Americans also had to take a literacy test to vote in some states which wasn't fair because the 15th amendment was for everyone born in the U.S to be able to vote. So overall the reconstruction was sadly more of a failure. ]]> 2022-09-21 18:03:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/3s22475l93lvujsp/wish/2307363630 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/3s22475l93lvujsp/wish/2307363996 I believe Reconstruction was a failure because even then there was still racism going on and they kept changing their laws.]]> 2022-09-21 18:03:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/3s22475l93lvujsp/wish/2307363996 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/3s22475l93lvujsp/wish/2307369855 I think Reconstruction was a failure because there was a moment that they had freedom and then they had black codes and people were still getting beat and punished ]]> 2022-09-21 18:07:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/3s22475l93lvujsp/wish/2307369855 ayooluwaa8930 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/3s22475l93lvujsp/wish/2307371301 Reconstruction was a bit of both because it started well then failed because of a compromise.
