The first statewide public school systems in the South as well as hospitals, penitentiaries, and asylums. The first black institutions of higher learning were founded. Equally important, it was during Reconstruction that the institutional foundations of the modern black community in the South were laid, including independent black churches and a growing number of black landowners, businessmen, clergymen, and teachers.

What was the northern view on reconstruction?

The reconstruction, sometimes referred to as the Reconstruction Period, was a space of roughly five years following the American Civil War during which the reconstruction of the Union took place. This was accomplished through the use of legislative power, and military might via the Military Reconstruction Act of 1867. Considering it was predominantly the white Northerners pushing the Act, the overall view of reconstruction was favorable. However, a large majority of Southern whites despised the idea, and resented the action. In spite of this, the newly freed slaves comprised an equally large portion of the Southern populous, and it was due in part to their pleas for citizenship that the reconstruction even took place. Thus, it could be said that the South itself was divided on the issue.


Why were Northerners growing tired of Reconstruction in the mid-1870s?

Northern support for reconstruction failed due to a variety of factors. Chief among them was the high cost of maintaining the reconstruction effort in the south. Due to the hostility of the southerners, an in place military occupation was mandatory. In addition, programs and other adjustments were equally costly. To add fuel to the fire, many northerners soured on the fact after newly freed blacks began to compete with them for unskilled labor jobs.

How did the Compromise of 1877 affect Reconstruction in the US?

It affected the South by removing the Union troops put in place by the Military Reconstruction Act, effectively ending Reconstruction. The South had had many changes enforced during Reconstruction (new state governments, voting rights granted to all men, many reforms that had occurred in the North decades before- education, feminism, temperance, treatment of criminals and the insane), and was forever changed, but Southerners relished the idea of freedom from the somewhat oppressive Northern armies.

How did the southern states act to reconstruction.?

it hurt because the taxes were very high and they had no money to do the Reconstruction. after the war confederate money was worthless. people who have loaned money to the south were never paid back. it help because Abe Lincoln the 16 president outlined his 10% plan for the reconstruction. It helped the south go back into the union and if they did the south would be more faster to build. ~Bms's Anonymous


Why didn't reconstruction work after the civil war?

Reconstruction didn't work after the civil war because the goal of reconstruction was to reintroduce the south back into the union as quickly as possible. There would be no real victory from the war unless the country was put back together. After the south was defeated in 1865 the reconstruction act of 1867 was set into place. Although slaves were freed the south established Black codes that treated the Blacks as slaves but weren't considered slaves. It set limitations on them so it kept them at the bottom of the food chain. Reconstruction ended in 1877 because the military pulled out of the south. The north got tired of spending so much money on the Reconstruction when little was being achieved. Ultimately reconstruction did work just not at the time that the north wanted it to work.
