Reconstruction was doomed from the start because southerners had to account for their terrible loss. This was in lives and their patrimony. The acceptance of any Reconstruction policy would have negated the cause for which they fought for and so many died. When Congress imposed a reconstruction policy that included even a small sense of black civil equality & black suffrage, most white southerners could & did not accept the legitimacy of governments that were elected. The white South was never more the "solid South" than in the period of Congressional Reconstruction. This was regretful, but the results speak for themselves.
The Reconstruction Era occurred right after the civil war. So the civil war caused the reconstruction era to begin.
Reconstruction was caused by the Civil war and slavery. After slavery ended Reconstruction was period that helped to rebuild society after the war.
The last reconstruction 16 months did for the us
so we are not doomed to repeat it
Frankly, in a pretty shabby way. There is a lot of history- more than can be quickly answered. Take 5 minutes and read through this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstruction_EraIt has been said that actions during Reconstruction caused more animosity than the war itself had caused.

Superman cannot help us and we are DOOMED....
The rebuilding of the US after the Civil War was called the "Reconstruction Period".

they both wanted quick reconstruction.
the debate over the ratification of the fifteenth amendment
The former states of the Confederacy had a huge negative view of the US's Reconstruction plans for the South. They believed that the US was getting "even" with them for the cause of the US Civil War.Wherever possible, Southerners evaded laws and regulations of the Reconstruction Era.
