Why reconstruction was a faliure...

Even though reconstruction was successful after the Civil War, it was still a failure. There is a huge reason to why it was a failure. The Union and the states all worked hard together to form what they had. Both sides tried to do things to help each other before the war. Even though these changes were tried it lead to the war. After the war, the south was destroyed in some locations. The Union allowed the south to rejoin the states I basically because they felt sorry for them. Once they rejoined, the north helped re-build the south. The rebuilding of the south by the north was the failure. The south started the war because Lincoln became president. They lost and destroyed there on cities. They should have rebuild them by themselves since they startes all of it.
