Reconstruction is widely considered a failure, though the reason for this is a matter of controversy.

  • The Dunning School considered failure inevitable because it felt that taking the right to vote or hold office away from Southern Whites was a violation of republicanism.
  • A second school sees the reason for failure as Northern Republicans' lack of effectiveness in guaranteeing political rights to Blacks.[citation needed]
  • A third school blames the failure on not giving land to the freedmen so they could have their own economic base of power.[citation needed]
