What did Texas have to do under Congressional Reconstruction to be readmitted to the Union?
After reading Chapter 13 in The History of Texas (1954), consider your modern understanding of Reconstruction. This pivotal era in American History, and to an equally important degree in Texas History, set the stage for many of the civil rights and reform movements of the twentieth century. As explained in the article, teaching Reconstruction is still a political endeavor. Explain how the 1954 textbook or your modern text distort the history of Reconstruction.
Give specific examples as to what you see as inaccurate. How does presenting history in an inaccurate way affect the modern population? Do you have any current insight or content you can find surrounding the textbook debate in today’s education debate in Texas? If you have an opinion or insight, please share and be sure to cite your outside sources using APA.
Address the questions asked in the paragraph above in at least a 300-word post and cite all outside sources appropriately
