Question

question 4 of 10
what was true about reconstruction?
a. reconstruction responsibilities were left to southern leaders.
b. leaders in the north disagreed about the terms of reconstruction.
c. the main issue of reconstruction was whether the south should be allowed to build factories.
d. the main issue of reconstruction was whether northern war prisoners should be released.

Explanation:

• Option A: Reconstruction had federal involvement, not just left to Southern leaders. So A is false.
• Option B: Northern leaders (e.g., Radical Republicans vs. more moderate views) had disagreements on Reconstruction terms (like how to treat the South, rights for freedmen). This is true.
• Option C: Reconstruction focused on readmitting Southern states, civil rights for freed slaves, not Southern factory building. So C is false.
• Option D: Reconstruction was about the South's readmission and freed slaves' rights, not Northern war prisoners. So D is false.

Answer:

B. Leaders in the North disagreed about the terms of Reconstruction.
