TYREE LEWIS - QUESTION 1



RECONSTRUCTION. History.com. A&E Television Networks, 2014. Website. 3-24-2014

What did Americans (Northern and Southern, black and white) think of thegovernment during Reconstruction – military occupation of the South, civil rights laws, and the president’s plan


During the reconstruction African Americans where given rights to vote and go to school.
The government during reconstruction sent troops to the south to keep things in order.
The southern whites disliked the fact that the government didn't trust them to get along
with the black people.The blacks disliked the government because the the troops mistreated them and gave them fines for no reason.the northern didn't like the government wasn't fixing the problem in the south so they found a compromise. That didn't work then the KKK was formed.
