    Reconstruction occurred from 1865 to 1877. It could be considered successful because it restored the United States as a whole after the Civil War. Even though it brought the states back together‚ it stilled failed in many ways.

    author of the article addresses. The initial view towards Reconstruction was that it wouldn’t have made a difference whether or not Lincoln had been part of the picture‚ many historians had believed that Lincoln would have clashed with Radical Republicans in congress much like Andrew Johnson had. However‚ this traditional view of Reconstruction has been abandoned by historians.

    Why do you think there is so much interest in reconstructing the faces of the dead? I think that if we are able to see the faces of people from the past‚ we will be to relate to them‚ empathize with them and ultimately‚ be able to imagine what they looked like when they were alive. For example‚ if scientists are able to reconstruct the face of Pharaoh Tutankhamen‚ we will not only be able to see if the portrayal of him on his famous sarcophagus is correct‚ but we will also be able to imagine what

    Reconstruction was a failure due to the opinion on race. Racism played a big part in the 1896 Plessey vs. Furguson case. Reconstruction began in 1865 and ended in 1877. Two goals were to rebuild the south and to reform society. Reconstruction should not be thought of as a bad idea. It was virtually impossible to just change ways in the south with out using some kind of force. "Black codes" did nothing but for the south but put them in further segregation. The black codes aloud a form of disguised
