Question 1 • 26-27 SS US/AZ History 1 CR – (YR) Schroeder, A US/AZ HISTORY/GEOGRAPHY 1(9)

How do you think white Southerners were impacted by the Civil War and its end?

Answer

There was a feeling of loss as many white citizens lost their homes and loved ones as a result of the violence of war.

Some white Southerners likely moved, abandoning the South in the hope of restoring their lives elsewhere.

Violence broke out in areas as many opposed the changes being made by the federal government.
