After reading Chapter 16: The Era of Reconstruction, 1865–1877 answer the following questions.

Consider social, political, and economic equality during the Reconstruction era. Was the Reconstruction era a success or a failure? What were some of the key successes of Reconstruction? What were some of the important limitations to the progress made during this era?

Then go to the Reconstruction Primary Sources in the online American Yawp reader at:

https://www.americanyawp.com/reader/reconstruction/Links to an external site.

Choose at least two of the primary sources to address Reconstruction. How do the sources you choose point to either a success or a setback for former slaves? Provide some direct quotes from the author in your answer.

What do you think should have happened to provide social, political, and economic equality to all Americans during the Reconstruction Era and after? Would America have been different from 1877 to today if Reconstruction had been totally successful?
