I expect that you will reference any and all sources available to you to answer the following questions; however, the
work and arguments you produce should BE YOUR OWN! You should plan to spend approximately two hours (try not to
spend more than that) actually writing the exam. The completed essays should be uploaded to Canvas.
Focus on the chapters in the textbook The American Yawp which cover The Reconstruction ? Chapter 15 through to the
New Era – Chapter 22. Please label your essays.
A. Reconstruction witnessed profound changes in the lives of southerners, black and white, rich and poor. Explain
the various ways that the lives of these groups were changed. How were the changes for better or worse?
B. The West meant different things to different groups of people. Explain the experiences of at least three distinct
groups of people in ?The West? between 1865 and 1914.
