Congressional Reconstruction period

Using information from this week’s lesson and assigned readings, write a two-page, 12-font single-spaced essay addressing the following question:

 

Discuss some of the short-term successes of Reconstruction and its long-term failures for African Americans.

(Note: the successes were during the Congressional Reconstruction period, and you can look at the failures in the last years of Reconstruction and the Jim Crow period. You don’t need to go beyond the 1920s since this is the period where our current lesson ends.)

 

If you consult external sources, you need to provide a reference at the end of the paper and citation within the body of the paper.

 

See the scoring rubric attached to this assignment on how it will be graded.

 

In addition to the videos in this week’s lesson and the assigned pages in the American Yawp, you can also use information from the following article: Reconstruction
