A new view of Reconstruction began to emerge in the 1960s, the era of the civil rights movement. Why do you think the civil rights movement might have encouraged historians and others to reexamine Reconstruction

The civil rights movement encouraged historians to reexamine the reconstruction of the south, because it was during the reconstruction that the African-American population began to be integrated into society as American citizens.

Explanation:

The Reconstruction of the South took place after the American Civil War. During this period, slavery became a prohibited practice across the country and African-Americans, in addition to being freed, became American citizens. Being an American citizen, guaranteed that Afro-Americans had the same rights and duties as white citizens, but that was not what happened, because the black population, even though it was composed of American citizens, had limited and even denied access to rights. Since the reconstruction, in 1960, African Americans claimed these rights through the civil rights movement. As this attempt to limit black rights began during the Southern Reconstruction, the Civil Rights Movement, influenced historians to research about Reconstruction and how it was one of the foundations for racism and intolerance in the USA.
