Reconstruction was a failure because of violent white backlash, economic oppression of freed people, and the withdrawal of federal protection.
My first reason violent white backlash supports my thesis because groups like the Ku Klux Klan used terror and intimidation to stop Black people from voting, owning land, or exercising their rights.
My second reason economic oppression supports my thesis because many freed people were forced into sharecropping and debt, so they stayed poor and dependent instead of becoming independent landowners.
My third and final reason the withdrawal of federal protection supports my thesis because when Northern interest faded and troops left the South, white Southern leaders took back power and undid many Reconstruction changes.
As a result Reconstruction was a failure.

Reconstruction was a success because of the new constitutional amendments, the Freedmen’s Bureau and public schools, and African American political leadership.
My first reason the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments supports my thesis because they abolished slavery, made Black people citizens, and gave Black men the right to vote—important legal changes that lastingly changed the Constitution.
My second reason the Freedmen’s Bureau and public schools supports my thesis because the bureau helped freed people get food, medical care, jobs, and schools were started so Black children could learn to read and write.
My third and final reason African American political leadership supports my thesis because Black men were elected to local, state, and national offices and helped pass laws that tried to protect civil rights and rebuild the South.
As a result Reconstruction was a success.
