AH Unit 1

Question 1

Trace the development of the three Reconstruction amendments, and explain why the 14th was needed to bolster the 13th, and the 15th to further clarify the 14th? 

(HINT: You are asked to trace the development of, not simply to list or describe what each amendment said or did. This involves an investigation of the background of each, and the connection between them, and an explanation of why each was needed in light of events of the time. There is no simple or short answer that will suffice.)
