Answer 1

Answer: THIS IS THE SAMPLE ANSWER FOR EDMENTUM:

Through Reconstruction, the North wanted to change the South into a place where formerly enslaved people could live freely as citizens. The singer or speaker expresses his resistance to being "reconstructed". He clearly expresses hostility to the North. He singles out his hatred for the Freedmen's Bureau, which the North set up to help educate and support formerly enslaved people.
