The success of Congressional Reconstruction was short-lived. By the early 1900s,
Southern states had found new ways to rob African Americans of basic rights. It was
not until the 1960s that African Americans in the South would get to exercise their
full rights as U.S. citizens.
Why was the success of Congressional Reconstruction short lived?
Explain why it took nearly 100 years for African Americans to be able to exercise the rights they gained?
1.the congressional reconstruction was short lived becuase southerners found new ways to take basic rights away from african americans. Until 1960s african amercians did not have basic rghts.
ReplyDelete2.they did not fully gain the rights they deserved until the white respected them and allowed them into soceity.

ReplyDelete1) The success of Congressional Reconstruction was short lived because Southern states made new laws to control the freedman.
ReplyDelete2)It take nearly 100 years for African American to get their full right because of those laws that Southerner had created , that had took their basic rights.

the success of the reconstruction plan was short lived because the white southerners did not agree with the plan,they still wanted to have control over the blacks by using black codes,after the north came to know about this they passed the fourteenth amendment but the whites persisted,they made secret organizations to make the lives of freedmen hard,the whites could not live side by side so the reconstruction plan did not work.the whites still have hate for blacks,this made it hard for the blacks to gain respect in the white community so the blacks could never be able to gain proper rights.Alvin Gaine 802
ReplyDelete1.The Congressional Reconstruction was short lived because African American still did not get freedom.Southern state have create new way to rob African American freedom
ReplyDeleteIt lasted for a short amount of time because the Southern started to take away African American basic rights.The rights they were taking away from were...even when they wre freed when were still critising for how their skin color.Southerners were still not letting the Africans live like a freed human.

1.The success of the Congressional Reconstruction was short lived because the southern states had found new ways to trick the African Americans. The Southern states didn't want the African Americans to be freed or equal like them, because they were afraid of them. It was a trick because the southern states had basically robbed them when they had their rights.

ReplyDeleteThe success of the congressional Reconstruction was "short lived" because it took the south 100 years to gain their rights some slaves didn't even live to see that they finally got free. this happened because the south didn't want to let go of the slaves.they were afraid of loosing political power.

1. The success of the congressional reconstruction short lived is because the Southern States had found new ways to limit the rights of the African Americans.For example, they still treat the African Americans the same when they are enslaved.Most of the slaves don't have any skills, so their only choice is to work on the plantations. The Southerners pay the African Americans little to no crops they harvested. In addition, the Southerners gave the slaves bad working condition as usual too.

1. The Congressional Reconstruction was short-lived because in a very short time, the south would of have already found a new way to steal rights from African Americans. This led to a no longer need of the Congressional Reconstruction, which caused it to end very early.
ReplyDelete2. It took nearly 100 years for African Americans to be able to exercise the rights they have because not everyone agreed with this idea, at first. It is not easy to have your servants all of the sudden be just as poweful as you are. So white southeners took about 60 years to talk things out and then finally agree to slaves being equal to them.

From, Andy Zheng 814
1) The reason of why the Congressional Reconstruction was short lived is because the Southerners was trying to find new ways to make the freed slaves suffer. Soon, they had found a new to make freed slaves suffer by robbing some of the right that freed citizens have. Also, the 15th Amendment, that was passed to freed slaves, didn't work. The southerners still treat the freed slaves horribly like before.
ReplyDelete2) It took nearly a hundred years for African Americans to be able to exercise the rights they gain because of racism. Another reason is because some Southerners still strongly disagree with freeing African Americans so they created the KKK. The KKK was a secretive group the strongly disagree with freeing African Americans. They beat, killed, and harmed the African Americans for getting their rights and being free.

1. The success of Congressional Reconstruction was short lived because the 15th Amendment didn't work. The Southern states found new ways to rob African Americans freedom and rights. For example, they still treated them as slaves. The African Americans can only be farmers or servants which was what they did as slaves. The south also formed groups like Ku Klux Klan(KKK). KKK beat men in front of their families. They also killed many people.
ReplyDelete2. It took 100 years for African Americans to be able to exercise the rights they gained because they just got freed as slaves and they are adjusting to the new life they got. They got the same rights as regular American citizen did. However, the South didn't want them to have the same rights as them so they found ways to rob their freedom and rights. Eventually, the South finally accepted them as American citizens and the African Americans finally got the rights they always had but could never used.

1. The Congressional Reconstruction was short-lived because the Southern states had found a new way to rob the right that's belonged to African American. They also enacted the Black Code which African American can't get their rights. Their rights were being limited in the South.
ReplyDelete2. It's all because of the code that setted by the South, the Black Code, and they set curfews. And so on, freedmen could't own guns and rights that Whites had. Also because of the group, KKK(Ku Klu Klan) start beating up the free African American, they killed black people and burned their houses. It gets hard for black people to be active outside because they're all afraid of KKK and afraid of being killed. Until the KKK was arrested and put on trial, they're saved start gaining their rights.
Qiaoling Wu 814
1. Even though the congressional reconstruction was short lived, people of the south still dreaded the african americans even after the reconstruction since they were the part of the U.S. that didn't want slavery at all to end. So of course, they would discriminate and criticize them in the most harsh ways. Therefore, they're rights are still stolen even after the reconstruction where the confederacy and union get back together.
ReplyDelete2. It took 100 years because slavery has been around for a long time and people are used to african americans being treated shoddily or in other words, badly. Hence, as time goes by where african americans are technically free, americans probably got the hang of the african americans being equivalent to the rest of them americans and actually came to realize that they're great people and deserves respect.

Delete1)The Congressional Reconstruction was short term because the Southern states had found forms to take away the rights African American's had the the right to.

Furthermore, freed slaves did not have the right to own a gun. These are some reasons towards why the Congressional Reconstruction did not last.

1. The Congressional Reconstruction's success was short-lived because of the South's reaction towards the reconstruction freeing their slaves. For example, even though the slaves were freed on paper, the South did not follow. They enacted the Black Codes onto the slaves who were now freed which restricted them from even things that the slaves should have. Things just changed back the way it was before the slaves were freed/
ReplyDelete2.It took nearly one hundred years for the freedmen to be able to use their rights because of all the tension between the North and the South. When the North does something that would lighten up the situation, the South finds a way to go against it. For example, when the Slaves were freed by the North's reconstruction project, the South put the slaves back into their original place by placing the Black Codes on them. Thus, this demonstrates how the South does not like what the North is doing and finds ways that would make what the North does ineffective

1) there are many reasons why the Reconstruction was very short lived. many people didnt liked the way how slaves got their freedom. life was changing very quickly, and many feared that slaves would soon take over. people wanted to keep control of slaves and so they started abusing people also known as racism. southern states didnt liked how fast life was changing and they came up with their own laws.they passed the black codes which unable african americans to have the right to vote, own a gun, and many other rights that freedman had.southern states set out curfews, this only gave a certain amount of time in order for slaves to get their papers. without papres slaves wouldnt be able to own their freedom. slaves had their freedom only on paper which as well was hard for african americans. the north was horrified and couldnt believe that they lost lives for no reason. they soon passed the 14th amendment, which gave all freedman the same rights as all american citizens. however southern states didnt liked what they heard and started secret groups such as the kkk.

The success of the Congressional Reconstruction was shortly lived. There were many whites who wasn't able to see themselves equally present as the African Americans in the society. They feared of everything being in favor of the colored people, and they would loose their power and control as they did in many cases after the reconstruction. This provoked the whites into becoming indignant and creating ways to put down the African Americans. The southerner whites set strict rules on the colored people. For instance, without a paper they weren't able to travel. Additionally, they enacted the black codes. The norther whites on the other hand believed the Civil War victory wasn't helping since the whites of the South are still trying to harass the African Americans. This evoked them into releasing the 14th amendment which clearly states all men are equal, despite they color or race. The whites in the South wasn't going to let the North decide everything, as a result, they stepped up their game, and found other ways to make the lives of the African Americans more trouble-some. The high positioned members of the southern society decided to join secret groups such as the Ku Klux Klan(KKK). These groups were performing the acts of terrorism and made the African Americans their victims.
ReplyDeleteIt took about 100 years for the African Americans to practice the rights they have gained. This is because the whites of the South continued to put the lives of the African Americans in a miserable situation. They weren't ready to accept the African Americans, who they called their slaves some time back were now standing in the same position as them in the society.

1.The success of the Congressional Reconstruction was short lived, because southerners still were able to find new ways to take away African Americans rights. After the blacks finally get some of their rights, groups from the Southern states would get angry and remove those rights.This is why the Congressional Reconstruction was shortly lived, and African Americans were only able to practice their full rights in the 1960's.
ReplyDelete2. It took about 100 years for African Americans to practice the rights they gained because of the southerners reactions.Southerners didn't want African Americans to acquire their full rights.This is why they always took those right away from the African Americans, which lead them to finally getting their full rights 100 years later.
Soha Ahmedshaker 814
1) The Congress Reconstruction was short lived because the men of the southern region refused to believe the fact that African Americans will receive the basic rights of the country. They know that they're capable of preventing this by creating new rules and laws that take away these rights from slaves. This caused slaves to basically lose all the equal rights that they had gained throughout the government.
ReplyDelete2) It took over 100 years for the African Americans to exercise and regain the rules they had gained simply due to the southern white men. They have been using the black men as a workforce to sell crops and earn money. They have utilized these slaves for over hundreds of years and forced them to maintain labor on their plantations. This caused many difficulties for those African Americans since the southern men would always be an obstacle they had to slowly pass through.
