What Students Need to Do

Students trace how violence, fading federal support, and the disputed 1876 election helped end Reconstruction. They explain how weak enforcement of voting and equal protection rights allowed restrictions and segregation to spread. They distinguish early Black Codes from later Jim Crow laws.

What Mastery Looks Like

A student puts the 1876 election, the 1877 troop withdrawal, and later segregation laws in order. They explain how weak enforcement left Black citizens facing voting barriers and unequal treatment in public places. They can say why Black Codes belong earlier in the timeline.
