How should the government handle passing laws for social progress and equality with the backlash that might accompany it? gnangle1 https://padlet.com/gnangle1/7k4oemnghmxil92z/wish/1002811884 2020-12-09 16:19:43 UTC https://padlet.com/gnangle1/7k4oemnghmxil92z/wish/1002811884 Question #4: Think about everything we learned in Unit #2, How should the Causes of the Civil War, the Civil War, and Reconstruction (Progress and Backlash) be remembered today?
