The main goal of Reconstruction was to

A.Readmit the former Confederate states into the Union.
B.Revive the economies of the northern states after the Civil War.
C.Establish a new national government following the Civil War.
D.Provide newly freed slaves with land and money.

Yes, I would bet on C, but of course we could argue all day.

Damon is right. This is a debatable question and we do not know what your assigned reading said. Your test will be based on your assignments, not on the knowledge of tutors.

I'm thinking B

I'm thinking D,B, or A

oh then C?

Actually to cement our takings from Mexico.

If you followed Lincoln into leadership of the war torn country, what would you concentrate on ? ( I am not saying it was all done well)

......but it was the strong industrial economy in the north that was instrumental in defeating the south.

I do not think the Confederate states ever legally left the union. Secession is not an option in the US Constitution. However of course I am from some what north of Boston and therefore may not see it the way some others might :)

Certainly D was needed, but the MAIN GOAL ????

I told you B was a non starter.
