The purpose of denying education to African Americans was to prevent them from being able to achieve social equality with white people; fundamentally this is a form of ethnic selfishness. People want to keep the best opportunities for their own group, and to deny those opportunities to members of other groups.

Which outcome of reconstruction appealed to both black and white in the south?

One outcome of Reconstruction that appealed to both black and white Southerners was the establishment of public education systems. For many white Southerners, the desire for a more educated populace aligned with their interests in economic development and social stability. Meanwhile, for black Southerners, access to education represented a critical step toward empowerment and equality. This shared interest in education helped foster some common ground amidst the tensions of the Reconstruction era.


What president outlawed carpetbagging?

Carpetbagging was never outlawed and was not illegal. A carpetbagger was a Northerner who came to the South after the Civil War. Some came to make money. Some were crooks and committed white-color crimes. Some came to teach the blacks and make sure they got their rights are citizens. They were resented by Southerners who mostly did not want the blacks to have equal civil rights and were driven out of some places by White Liners (paramilitary organization devoted to white supremacy.)
