THE UNDOING OF RECONSTRUCTION
Aim: What goals did Republican policymakers, ex-Confederates, and freepeople pursue during Reconstruction? To what degree did each succeed?
Bell Ringer: Review Journal 78 (5 min) A: African Americans built open communities through self-help institutions in a variety of categories, including schools, newspapers, churches, and fraternal organizations. In the wake of emancipation, black communities coalesced around independent churches separate from white-dominated congregations. The construction of black churches, schools, and organizations tied into African American's overall effort to improve their working conditions and widen the opportunities for the next generation, whether it be within the larger southern community or within the emerging black communities across the South.
