After reading chapters twelve and thirteen on the Reconstruction Era, give your opinion on how successful this era was. Answer the following, specifically:

What do you think was the most successful measure adopted during the reconstruction era?

Discuss a measure that you think should have been a main focus of reconstruction that was ignored. Why do you think it was important? What impact do you think it would have had.

Please remember, in order to get full credit for your discussions, you must respond to my question with one full paragraph (about 6-8 sentences) and to two of your classmates (about 4-6 sentences). These are minimum responses. Feel free to discuss at length and engage with as many of your classmates as you’d like.
