Civil War and Reconstruction 1860 (jan 1, 1860 – jan 1, 1877)

Description:

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.
