Hi! I have a thesis prepared but I feel like it is too vague, or it is missing something but I don't know how to make it better.

Prompt: To what extent do the events of the Civil War and Reconstruction constitute a political and social revolution?

My Thesis: Several events during the Civil War and Reconstruction created a drastic change in the status quo both politically and socially, but certain measures offset the results of both the war and reconstruction; therefore these actions were only somewhat revolutionary.

I also can't seem to word it very clearly. please help me! :]
