Question

What are two reasons why black schools during Reconstruction were not of the same quality as white schools?

Answer 1

The two reasons why black schools during Reconstruction were not of the same quality as white schools were because it was hard to run two parallel schools financially and secondly the whites did not want the blacks to be as educated as they were. These were the two major hurdles for the black schools to be equivalent to the white schools.

Answer 2

Answer:

Black schools were not as well-funded as white ones.

Southern Democrats were hostile toward blacks.

Explanation:

Although African Americans had overwhelming support from the North which eventually led to abolition, they did not receive as much support financially. Not to mention, the South was always a place of slavery and when it was abolished, MANY of the Southerners didn't like it and hostility continued for decades.
