Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The passage of the Thirteenth (abolition of slavery), Fourteenth (citizenship and equal protection under the law), and Fifteenth (voting rights for black men) Amendments to the Constitution were significant accomplishments of Reconstruction that have endured to this day. While social equality and the eradication of poverty were goals of Reconstruction, they were not fully achieved and continue to be ongoing struggles. Similarly, the redistribution of wealth and eradication of sectional differences were not lasting legacies of Reconstruction.
