Chapter 23: The Reconstruction Era
To What Extent did Reconstruction bring African Americans closer to full citizenship
To What Extent did Reconstruction bring African Americans closer to full citizenship
Chapter 23 Overview
As the nation emerged from the Civil War, many African Americans considered the meaning of their new status as freedmen, Integrating former slaves into American society as citizens became one of the most difficult and controversial aims of the era. In our study of the Reconstruction Era students will analyze primary source images to evaluate how close African Americans came to full citizenship during this time period. Students will first consider the events and laws of this era independently to determine if they helped or hurt African Americans in the quest for citizenship; however, ultimately they will evaluate the era as a whole. The processing assignment for this chapter will engage students in creating a road map for citizenship where they visually represent this rocky road.
