1. Describe some of the successes and limitations of the Civil War Reconstruction efforts. Do you think the Reconstruction efforts should have continued longer? Why or why not?

2. Do you think the United States should be responsible for reconstruction efforts after fighting in wars in the present day? Why or why not?

1. Of course I think that the United States should have continued the Reconstruction efforts. The main reason why they didn't was because southerners didn't like reconstruction efforts, what with black rights and all, so they made a deal with Rutherford B. Hayes. I think reconstruction should've continued in order to de-racialize the united states. Black people wouldn't have fair voting rights until the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.

2. Maybe. The Civil War was an inland war in the United States, while the current wars were outside of the US. I think the US should be responsible for rebuilding the nations it had previously intervened in.
