Publisher's Note Participants and historians express constrasting views of the purpose of Reconstruction, moderate and radical approaches, the role of Blacks in society, the end of the era, and reasons why it failed.
Industry Reviews Gr 9 Up Another significant contribution to the series. Stalcup has arranged primary documentary evidence representing opposing viewpoints into six chapters that cover various aspects of Reconstruction. Some of the concepts debated include the extent of Reconstruction, the influence of the Ku Klux Klan, black voting rights, and the Fourteenth Amendment. The final chapter is a debate between two historians on why Reconstruction failed. This is a valuable one-stop source for primary information. Elizabeth M.
