The correct answers that reflect progress for African Americans during the early years of Reconstruction are:
1. **Economic opportunities for African Americans increased.**
2. **African Americans were appointed or elected to government positions.**
3. **New state constitutions guaranteed the civil and political rights of African Americans.**
4. **The first state-funded public schools in the South were established.**
The statement about federal troops being withdrawn from the South, leaving southerners to govern themselves, does not represent progress for African Americans and often led to the rollback of gains made during Reconstruction, so it is not a correct example of progress.
