Answer 1

How did the nation rebuild and reunite after the Civil War?

As part of being readmitted to the Union, states had to ratify the new amendments to the Constitution. The Union did a lot to help the South during the Reconstruction. They rebuilt roads, got farms running again, and built schools for poor and black children. Eventually the economy in the South began to recover.

After the Civil War and what difficulties did they face?

After the Civil War, the nation was still greatly divided because the South had been devastated physically and spiritually. Besides the destruction of the land, homes, and cities, no confederate soldiers were allowed burial in Arlington Cemetery, and many of their bodies were lost to their families.

Answer 2

1. As part of being readmitted to the Union, states had to ratify the new amendments to the Constitution. The Union did a lot to help the South during the Reconstruction. They rebuilt roads, got farms running again, and built schools for poor and black children. Eventually the economy in the South began to recover. One of the central difficulties were that the southerners didn't accept that the blacks are free. The southerners faced this challenge by finding loopholes so that they can, in any way, downgrade the blacks' rights.

2. America can start to open up more jobs and such.
