Whzt events and legislation occurred during and after the Civil War that made African Americans believe the federal government intended to make some form of land ownership available to freed men and women? Define the major factors that made racial reconstruction doomed to fail by 1877?
Response Two: Read one other post critically, expand on the political victory of Southern Democrats, and the resumption of their political power after the Compromise of 1877. How did Jim Crow emerge after 1877.
