[SOLVED] Reconstruction after Civil War
Write an editorial for Harpers Weekly that responds to two of questions listed below. Editorials published in Harpers Weekly were written exclusively by white men living in the North; however, you can exercise creative license and assume any identity (black or white, northern or southern, man or woman, historical or fictional). If you want to refer to the 13th, 14th, and/or 15th amendments to the United States Constitution, you will find them here: National Constitution Center https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/the-constitution Questions for Editorial (Choose 2 questions, but write just one editorial): On what conditions should Confederate states be allowed back into the Union? What should happen to people who served in the Confederate army or held political offices in the Confederacy? Should they be deprived of any political rights? Should the federal government provide formerly enslaved people with assistance or protection? If so, what type of assistance? In answering this question, you may use examples from the testimony of freedmen and freedwomen in the reading (see attachment).
