    why was the era of presidential reconstruction so ineffective?
    because redeemers regained control of the government during this time
    because president johnson was in charge and as a southerner with southern sensibilities and he was not interested in providing equal rights for former slaves
    because president lincoln was not interested in promoting reconstruction
    because the 14th and 15th amendments were not respected

  2. Brief Explanations

    Presidential Reconstruction (led by Andrew Johnson after Lincoln's assassination) failed largely due to Johnson's lenient policies toward the South. As a Southerner, he prioritized reconciling with former Confederates over protecting the rights of formerly enslaved people, allowing Southern states to enact restrictive Black Codes. Redeemers took control later during Congressional Reconstruction's decline, Lincoln supported Reconstruction, and the 14th/15th Amendments were passed after Presidential Reconstruction.

  3. Final answer

    B. Because President Johnson was in charge and as a Southerner with Southern sensibilities and he was not interested in providing equal rights for former slaves
