18 Nov Why did Reconstruction fail?
Order Instructions
This 1899 photograph of students at the Hampton Institute in Virginia was taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston. It is from Artstor.org.
1.) Why did Reconstruction fail? Who was president and why was he a failure in regards to Reconstruction? Should the Southern leadership have been punished? You can refer to the Disenfranchisement section of your lessons in week two. If you use outside sources, they cannot be from anything generic (like history.com type generic websites).
Students,
I know how tempting it is to use a generic internet source (like Blackpast or History.com) but don’t. Use the textbook, articles from the library at APUS, or other scholarly sources written by historians. I will take off points for poor sources.
