Okay, so we're doing the Civil War in History and my teacher wants us to write a rough-draft of an essay on the following question:
The only thing that was a failure after the war was that most freed slaves were forced to go back to work for their previous owners because they were without food and money in foreign land and that Lincoln only freed slaves in the states where he couldn't and did not free slaves where he could.
I need more ideas
Just ideas
Figure someone here must be a history buff and can throw some good ideas my way.
Thanks again Anandtechers!
I am only familiar with the things that were good that happened because of the war. Such as new factories and industrialism in both the North and South, woman taking career jobs, etc.Explain how the attributes of the Union which helped to win the war contributed to the failure or mixed result of the Reconstruction. Include connection to resources, ideals and leadership.
