Question

By the early 1870s, the congressional reconstruction goals of 1866 A) had been mostly met. B) had been mostly abandoned by Northerners. C) had been expanded to include women's suffrage. D) were still the nation's first priority.

Answer 1

Answer:

B) had been mostly abandoned by Northerners.

Explanation:

Following the victory of Republican Ulysses Grant as the President of the United States in 1868 and the belief that the passing of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments had all solved many of the basic issues of reconstruction.

The Northerners, by the early 1870s, began to have a lesser interest in the congressional reconstruction goals of 1866. Their main focus was the issue of corruption economic problems.
