What did the period of reconstruction mean to the South?
The Reconstruction Era in the South had a different meaning than the Republican view, as the Republican Party created most of the reconstruction laws and policies.

To the "Old South", reconstruction meant that former slaves and other minorities would have equal rights with ones held by white people. This for them was not correct as they believed that Blacks were not equal to Whites. The idea of having Freed slaves take part in the governments of the southern states, allow them to vote and own farms was against the southern point of view.

Why is history controversial?
Everyone has a point of view, and the authors who write the histories we study have points of view (POV). Often times, the prejudices these authors have are put into their writing. Over time and continued studies, these prejudices come to light. How the reader sees themself or their culture is important in this analysis, as they may be offended by how a written history is posed. An example of this is how the survivors of Hiroshima view the dropping of the atomic bomb, verses the view of a Corporal in the First Marine Division sitting on Iwo Jima in July of 1945 would write of the same (future) event.
