What was the greatest success of the reconstruction?

Answer 1

The greatest successes of the Reconstruction period were the African American politicians that were elected and held office as Congressional members. The success stems from people, who at one time weren't considered citizens or even human beings, became able to run and win the highest offices in the land. Although it was cut short when Reconstruction ended, the journey from people who were considered property to Congressional legislators was remarkable.

Answer 2

One of the most significant accomplishments of Reconstruction was the readmission of the Confederate states back into the Union. Another success was the creation of the Freedmen's Bureau.
