If the purpose of Reconstruction was to bring the Confederate states back into the Union and to follow the Constitution, including all Amendments, it was definitely an unfinished revolution. In some ways the revolution still isn't over.

What does this statement mean? Reconstruction was an unfinished Revolution? Was it unfinished or was it finished?

I have to back up myself about reconstruction being an unfinished revolution. Where can I find reasons at on why it was not unfinished?

That didn't help... Any other suggestions about where i can find reasons about reconstruction being an unifinished revolution. I'm so frustrated and confused.
The reasons that Reconstruction was an unfinished revolution include the South's treatment of African-Americans -- at least through the 1960s -- and in some ways -- yet today.
