Question

Which answer best describes Congresss role in Reconstruction?

Congress rejected the idea of Reconstruction, thinking the Southern states should be responsible for their own rebuilding efforts.

Congress felt the U.S. Army should occupy the Southern states to maintain order and ensure former slaves were treated fairly.

Congress supported the idea that the Southern states should be readmitted to the United States and allowed to govern themselves.

Answer 1

My best guess would be A, Congress thought that the Southern States should fix up their own states. They lost, what they did to African Americans wasn't right, they can pick up their mess. Pretty much what it was. :)

Answer 2
