jan 1, 1860 - Period 7: Civil War and Reconstruction 1860 - 1877

Description:

Enduring Understanding: Radical Reconstruction responded to the failures of Presidential Reconstruction by passing laws and Constitutional amendments to protect African-Americans’ rights. Although this was initially successful and led to increased African-American political participation, Reconstruction eventually failed due to white supremacist violence, Southern resistance to Republican control, and Northern weariness with supervising the South.

Some similarities were that in both wars the US had neutrality and then was dragged into the wars. One difference was that the US brought nuclear weapons into WW2 not WW1
