Solved: Did Reconstruction fail in its mission to unite the nation and establish peace and unity after the war

Written Reflection Using the sources linked above, answer the following question in a one- to two-page, double-spaced reflection essay (about 250-400 words). No formal citations required. You do not need to answer the entire prompt but choose at least two or three of the questions that move you to reflect and write. Did Reconstruction fail in its mission to unite the nation and establish peace and unity after the war? What is the Lost Cause narrative, and how and why has the Civil War been revised and mythologized? What do these sources say about the post-war economic situation and the assertion of white supremacy? How can we explain white supremacy today? Is there still a socio-economic argument, like during Reconstruction? Or do you think it is rooted deeper in “Founding” ideas about citizenship and belonging?
