ESSAY: Evaluate the government's plan of Reconstruction against Booker T. Washington's belief on reform for the freedom. Include the strengths and weaknesses of Reconstruction. |
The government's plan was to have the politicians in Washington D.C try to push solutions on the South. Booker T. Washington believed that hard work, spiritual development, and practical education would help the freed slaves gain the level of integrity and character that could gain the respect of all Americans. He also knew that hard work would help the freedmen more than political reform. The weaknesses of the Reconstruction were corrupt political practices, loss of personal homes, and wasted tax money deprived the South economically. The strengths of the Reconstruction were railroads being built, colleges were founded, and improved agricultural. |
