The organizing topic of reconstruction, urbanization, and industrialization from 1865 to 1889 would likely include the rapid growth of cities due to migration and economic opportunities, the expansion of the railroad network facilitating trade and movement, and the rise of factories that transformed labor and production. It also encompasses the social changes resulting from these shifts, such as the influx of immigrants and the challenges of integrating formerly enslaved people into society. These elements collectively illustrate the profound transformations in American society during this period.
For the most-part, historians deem Reconstruction to be a failure.Taken as a collective "true or false" the answer would more than likely be false from a majority of historians.In other words... "False."
that would be the civil war

Like scalawag and peckerwood, it is unknown who coined the post-Civil War term carpetbagger, but it came into common use and is still used occasionally. Some New Yorkers called Hilary Rodham-Clinton a carpetbagger when she ran for a US Senate seat in New York, which would make her something of a reverse carpetbagger.
The spelling "carpetter" would be one who installs carpeting.The likely word may be carpenter, someone in woodworking and/or wood construction.
Slaves may not have known (or just not cared) that the person was a carpetbagger. They just would vote for them because the carpetbagger was a republican (Abe Lincoln was a republican, so slaves kind of saw the whole party as being completely against slavery, which they mostly were). In other words, they were probably happy that they could support an anti-slavery politician, and the carpetbagger was probably happy that he was getting some political power.
The reconstruction efforts would be tedious but worthwhile.
Most likely it would be during the Winter because most likely its very caol and its not likely for them to survive in the harsh cold.
The racial tensions were increased because of Reconstruction. Whites thought the Freedman's Bureau would give Blacks handouts and make them lazy. During Reconstruction Southerners created the Black codes as a way to stifle any progress that Blacks attempted to make.
