^ @riley33 you're not supposed to give out direct answers. It directly goes against OpenStudy's Code of Conduct.

Answer 7

Ok :D

Answer 8

I did not know thanks for letting me know :)

Answer 9

So, again, Amber, do you have any guesses? Or is there a lesson or point in your textbook that would support any of the answer choices?

Answer 10

See, I would BELIEVE it would be Republican Leaders because I distinctly remember my lessons stressing the fact that Radical Republicans took a strong hold on controlling the Reconstruction... but I cannot remember what they controlled when it was all over.

Answer 11

Wait so is it ok if you give her the answer directly? I would like to know so I dont get reported in the future! :>

Answer 12

You can give an answer ALONG WITH an explanation. Simply telling them the answer is forbidden, but you can explain why you think it may be correct or incorrect. As long as you're either helping them figure it out themselves or explaining how to get the answer, it's fine.
You see this debate come up a lot in math too.

Answer 13

Besides, I'm not 100% sure of my answer. When in doubt, give the asker articles from the Internet they can read to find their answer.

Answer 14

Okay thanks darling :3

Answer 15

So, Amber, there's this article: http://www.britannica.com/event/Reconstruction-United-States-history
Which states: By 1869 the Republican Party was firmly in control of all three branches of the federal government.

Just as I thought, they took control over the government.

Then there's this article: http://www.history.com/topics/american-civil-war/reconstruction
Which states: In the contested presidential election that year, Republican candidate Rutherford B. Hayes reached a compromise with Democrats in Congress: In exchange for certification of his election, he acknowledged Democratic control of the entire South.

Therefore, it seems the Southern, and previously Confederate, states were in Democratic hands.

Do with that what you want.
