Project


By now, you should have a well thought-out opinion about Reconstruction after the Civil War and some aspects of the lifestyle in that time period. Your task is to create a new plan of reconstruction keeping in mind everything you have done in conjunction with this webquest. You are equipped with all of the tools: The Reconstruction Chart and your summaries of the small articles. Your textbook is also a very good resource to use for more information. You may talk with your classmates to come up with some ideas, but this portion of the assignment should be done on your own.

The criteria for this paper is follows:

Information that needs to be included in your paper:

  • What does your reconstruction plan entail (it must be different than the four already created)?
  • What are your requirements for the Confederate States to join the Union again? Are the leinient or strict?
  • Are there any amendments to the constitution that you would add and/or get rid of?
  • In the last paragraph, I give you freedom to defend your plan. Why you believe this plan to be better than the actual ones? What makes it better? This paragraph should be very convincing, enough so that if I wasn't convinced before, I would be after finishing your paper.
