1 Answer

1 vote

Answer:

Reconstruction was resented in the South because it represented federal control over the Southern states. Federal troops were stationed in the South and the region was divided into military districts. It also featured the reframing of civil rights and liberties as it related to African Americans. The passage of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendment as well as the establishment of HBCUs marked a significant change in the plight of African Americans.

Explanation: Reconstruction (1865-1876) was a crucial moment in American life. It witnessed important regional transformation in the south and repositioned African Americans in the national life.
