guided practice
which statement best describes the republicans most enduring success during reconstruction?
a. they supported womens suffrage along with black suffrage.
b. they created a tax-supported public school system.
c. they made sure southerners had medical facilities and orphanages.

Explanation:

During Reconstruction, Republicans in the South established the first widespread tax-funded public school systems, a lasting reform that outlasted other temporary Reconstruction-era changes. Women's suffrage was not a focus of Republican Reconstruction efforts (A is incorrect), and while some aid was provided, medical facilities/orphanages were not their most enduring success (C is incorrect).

Answer:

B. They created a tax-supported public school system.
