Essay Question: Discuss some of the short-term successes of Reconstruction and its long-term failures for African Americans.
(Note: the successes were during the Congressional Reconstruction period, and you can look at the failures in the last years of Reconstruction and the Jim Crow period. You don’t need to go beyond the 1920s since this is the period where our current module ends.)
Please address the question only using information from the material provided in the module. In the event you use external sources and AI-generated information, you need to disclose that in your paper and provide references at the end of your paper.
