"The New View of Reconstruction"

The paper "A New Perspective on Reconstruction", Eric Foner outlined the change in view on the restructuring of the theme. There were various perspectives in the history of the postwar reconstruction period, but the fact remains unchanged, one of the most "violent, dramatic and controversial" times in the American history (224). At the beginning of his paper Eric Foner was talking about reconstruction methods even before 1960, but it was a time of intense, corrupt and manipulating free people.

By the early 1960s these efforts emerged with a new perspective of reconstruction and became increasingly attractive to historians as the civil rights movement "Second Rebuilding" emerged. John Hope Franklin summed up the revisionist approach in post-conflict reconstruction (1961) and Kenneth Seal (1965) during the reconstruction period, and Republicans after the war to address the urgent needs of free people I worked hard hard. Protection to solve the ethnic problems of the south. Despite various drawbacks, rebuilding the government has made a bold attempt in ethnic politics.

It is impossible. This is the case of reconfiguration. why? This concept of reconstruction was consistent with the American racial system of Jim Raven until the civil rights revolution of the 1960s. What is the lesson of that old view? First of all, it is wrong to give a black voter the right to vote. Reconstruction proved that blacks can not vote because they abused the vote. Therefore every effort to regain voting rights for African Americans will lead to another reconstruction. In the effort to expand or restore political democracy, that is to say so-called terrorism rebuilding in the south is constantly sought.

Reconstruction is a typical example of how the same history looks different through lenses of different eras. We all see history through prism now. For many Americans today it seems absurd to condemn the failure of the blacks to be rebuilt even if they are reading information on making and writing "devastated times" . For this historian it was overthrown by a minority of terrorists who defeated democracy by violence, so the reconstruction policy never failed owing to its own flaws.

With the change of society and the emergence of new information, the writer saw the previous event through a new lens. The first opinion advocated by William Dunning in 1907 was that rebuilding was a disaster caused by extreme Republican corruption. Thirty years later, revisionists like Vann C. Woodward raised doubts about this concept, arguing that reconstruction failed for economic reasons rather than due to corruption. In the 1960s, new gamers such as John Hope Franklin and Kenneth Stampp thought that reconstruction was not a complete failure, but instead left the legacy of the civil rights movement. According to a historian's latest view, such as Heather C. Richardson, reconstruction affects the whole country as well as the South, and the majority of the change is positive.
