How do you think a northern radical republican and a southern democrat would evaluate the long term impact of reconstruction?
Tough question. Provided that you are talking about people of the 19th Century: The Northern Republicans were fervent abolitionists and probably figured that the South had what was coming to them. They also preferred the idea of a railway connection to California from Chicago. The Southern Democrats would have preferred New Orleans to be the hub that connected the Atlantic, Mississippi, and Pacific. When it came to reconstruction, however, a confederate killed Lincoln, and he was replaced by Johnson, whose sympathy was with the South. The Reconstruction was pretty much put on a low burner under the Johnson administration, and greatly delayed and dismantled. Southern Democrats probably didn't care about the concept of Reconstruction, or really wanted it. They had already been through Armageddon, and had little to gain. Once the Northern carpet baggers left, they resumed control over the old south until the 1950's and 1960's. by Sakr, Kassem
