Question
how well did Tennessee deal with the four issues of Reconstruction; the status of its former Confederates, the restoration of the state government, economic reconstruction, and the status of former slaves? (Just one sentence would help me a lot... i know a lot of info but not sure if they dealt with it well or not at all)

"Well" is a value judgement. I'm sure the Tennessee leaders dealt with Reconstruction in ways they believed that most of their voters wanted. So many people were satisfied at the time. Of course, blacks and Northerners and modern people may not agree with how the state handled these situations.

Im not sure. It did help the slaves, but the whites didn't handle it all that well... they formed the KKK and right after this, the Confederates changed laws. so im not too sure...
Ms. Sue
You need to decide what "well" means to you and then decide whether Tennessee handled it well.
