Answer to Question 1

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Define the Thirteenth Amendment as the amendment that banned slavery under the U.S. Constitution.
2. Define Reconstruction as a set of federal economic development and social welfare policies applied to the South over a particular time period: 1863-1877.
3. Explain that the Thirteenth Amendment ending slavery is considered to be the first of three Reconstruction amendments passed by congressional Republicans during the era.
4. Indicate that the amendment helped to start the reconstruction of the South by freeing 4 million African American people, and workers, from slavery.
5. Conclude that southern whites were psychologically and historically unprepared to adjust to the end of slavery, and so resisted the course of Reconstruction vehemently.
