Answer 1

The statement that the authors of Congressional Reconstruction would MOST LIKELY agree with is: D.  “Although we must protect the rights of newly freed African Americans, state governments should be restored to their prewar state.”

Congressional Reconstruction began in 1866 and was marked by the rejection of the policies of Andrew Johnson by some radical congressmen.

They were of the opinion that federal troops be sent to the confederate states to restore law and order.

The rights of the newly freed African Americans were also strengthened through the amendment of the constitution.
