Presidential and Radical Reconstruction

Question 1 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 1

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.

Explanation

The Civil War brought widespread death and destruction, so many white Southerners experienced grief and lost homes or loved ones. Some left the South to seek a fresh start elsewhere. After the war, resistance to federal policies and changes such as emancipation and Reconstruction also led to violence in some areas, so all three statements apply.
