alright, this DBEQ is title under Reconstruction, but im having alot of trouble with it. Its due Thursday. Here is the question:
"In what ways and to what extent did constitutionaland social developments between 1860 and 1877 amount to a revolution?"
He hasnt even begun on reconstruction in class yet! we had our civil war test yesterday! Im pretty mad. Anyway though, someone PLEASE HELP. I have no idea what this "revolution" could be??
As for the documents, theres an article of blacks asking for rights, s. carolinas declaration of causes for secession, a speech in congress on the new banking and currency systems, a man explaining there is not a right for the government to dictate the matter of suffrage in any state, a petition for homesteads, a picture of a black man voting, a piece of writing about the klu klux klan, and another picture of a k.k.k member and a member of the "white league" each pulling on something that says "worse than slavery"
extremmeelly confusseddd.. hheeelpp :(
Okay, I reeally want to help you, but I seriously can't tonight. To be honest, I probably shouldn't even be checking this site at the moment...
But I'll try to look stuff up for you tomorrow, especially if you haven't already received help. In the mean time, I think that the question refers to the 15th amendment and the emancipation proclamation. I don't think that the revolution was political though, but I can't be sure. There was something about Boss Tweed and political machines there was something about that somewhere in the threads...
But I can't find it right now, so I'll look for you tomorrow. Hopefully that's enough to help get you started.

ahh that would be amazing if you could help tommarow, you dont know how much i would appreciate it.
Sorry if it's late, but here it is anyways.
Social
Emancipation
North and South Tension due to Reconstruction and Civil War
Emancipation
Blacks allowed to vote
More social programs (unfortunately, I can't find any examples)
Constitutional
13th -15th amendments (check here- http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html)
Army Act to reduce president's power over army
Salary Grab Act of 1873 (100% raise for pres, 50% for congress)
Corruption, but I'm not entirely sure that counts here
I think that the revolution is social. What with the rights for slaves, the sectional tension, and the corruption.
That's all I have, and I'm sorry if it's too late. I hope that is helps.

i have the same dbq:
"in what ways and to what extent did constitutional and social developments between 1860 and 1877 amount to a revolution?"
but im a little behind im on my reading and im not what this dbq is asking.
my teacher gave us the documents over the weekend so we can look at them and then we ahve the dbq on monday soooooo basically i have 2 days to do this
so if someone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated, please :o
Thank you so much for following all the rules. Basically the question is saying that many changes occured between 1860 and 1877, but are they simply a change or are they major enough to be considered a revolution.
Honestly, I'm not sure what I'd put, but I do know that it is the first time that blacks had rights.

I'm doing it right now, and I think that it was mainly a Constitutional revolution, and hardly a social revolution. Congress passed amendments and bills which gave itself more power and attempted to give freed slaves civil rights, property, education, etc. However, because these attempts mostly failed, the Black Codes were enstated, and the social standing of blacks was the same as if not worse than it was during slavery, there was hardly a social revolution. It could be argued that the fact that the slaves were emancipated was a revolution in itself, but the fact that many places did not even emancipate their slaves, or only emancipated them until Union forces left, makes the emancipation less significant
