Question

I am not getting a clear answer. I show what I think is correct:
Which of the following is a successful result of the Reconstruction?
states could limit voting rights in elections
more African Americans could go to school
segregation kept the races apart or separate – my answer
sharecropping helped poor blacks own land

Answer 1

"a successful result"

To me, this phrase implies the answer has to be something positive. Is the third answer choice positive?

Answer 2

Good question on being positive. Then it has to be more AA could go to school or Sharecropping helped poor blacks own land -- but I am still not sure -- it could be both. I think it is the last one because of the carpet baggers.

Answer 3

Are you clear on what sharecropping is?

Answer 4

Basically a land owner alllows someone else to live on his land and grow crops, and takes a portion of the crops as rent payment.

Answer 5

Does sharecropping sound as if anyone but the land owner ever owns that land eventually?
