I guess I am asking more about the era of reconstruction as well (1860-1877...) We are having somewhat of a debate in our history class and our teacher decided to go ahead and make it a fun, debate day tomorrow. I'm not sure if it is....basically, the book said that constitutional and social developments of this era (1860-1877) amounted to a revolution. I don't think the era was a revolution socially, because African Americans were still under harsh conditions, and I'm not sure if it was politically--because the same people still held the power, however... the constitution did change...Correct me if I'm wrong on any of my info or let me know in which direction I should be leaning on this!? Thanks for the info, I appreciate it!
