Many of the problems in rebuilding the core of the era are also the core of the whole American history, many of which are still under discussion today. Faced with the sixth part of the history of the restored video series, this lesson, along with the restoration heritage reinforced by activity and reading, will help clarify the echo of restoration throughout history. By watching videos, reading and analyzing key source files, students see democratic thinking as an ongoing process rather than a determined outcome. They will also consider the best way to participate in ongoing work to strengthen democracy and their responsibilities and opportunities to create a better society.
This course is part of Facing History's activities in the rebuilding era and is part of a series of video-based online courses. Please use this course at the end of the rebuilding section to bring students into dialogue on the ongoing struggle of the United States to achieve stronger democracy. In addition to the following recommendations, see Lesson 16 of "Rebuild Time and Democratic Vulnerability" for additional resources and background information on restructuring legacy.
What is the most important historical heritage of reconstruction? The period of reconstruction in the American history occurred between 1865 and 1877, accompanied by the American Civil War. In the meantime, people tried to reconsider the inequality of slavery and its political, social and economic heritage. Reconstruction is also trying to address the problems caused by the re-approval of the alliance by 11 countries after the war or before the war. Some of the heritage of reconstruction are the Jim Crow law, "redeemer", amendments to Articles 14 and 15. - Black Code: These laws are designed to separate black people from white. Basically, these are the law behind the separation. It was established shortly after the southern Savior recovered power. - 'Redemption': They regain power and at the end of the reconstruction era, they are white Democrats in the south with political influence over 100 years.
The adoption of revisions 13, 14, and 15 is a constitutional legacy of reconstruction. These amendments amended the separation of schools because the Supreme Court led judgment in the middle of the 20th century. "Second rebuilding" caused by the civil rights movement led the civil rights law in 1964 and 1965, concluded apartheid and resumed the investigation of blacks. Reconstruction played a part in the destructive economy. In 1861, there were a total of 297 cities in the Commonwealth, with a total population of 835,000, of which 162 out of 682 were occupied by Allied forces. Eleven people including Atlanta (9,600 in 1860), Charleston, Columbia, Richmond (40, 500 people, 8 people, 100 people, 37,900 people each) were destroyed or seriously damaged in the war. 115,900 people accounting for 14% of the southern city's population
The permanent legacy of restoration arises from efforts to fight for the support of slavery and the equality of Black Americans at the time. Dignity and respect are the goals that some blacks will achieve in the year after reconstruction, but many do not live to see real freedom and peace between races. However, in addition to sustaining, some direct measures taken at the time were adopted completely were taken. This includes amendments to Articles 14 and 15 to the Constitution. Some of them were ignored for the first few years, but they are symbols of freedom for today's African Americans. Reconstruction has done some good things for the United States, but it is mainly known for its drawbacks and limitations. One of them is redistribution of land promising to release slaves. Many people do not get the land and supplies promised to them. Other failures of racial equality are also derived from rebuilding like white Americans' extreme disillusionment.
