About this resource

This quiz covers the Reconstruction era in American history, spanning from 1865 to 1877, and is appropriate for grades 11-12 in an Advanced Placement U.S. History course. The questions assess students' understanding of the competing political plans for rebuilding the South after the Civil War, including Lincoln's Ten Percent Plan, Johnson's Presidential Reconstruction, and the Radical Republicans' Congressional Reconstruction. Students must demonstrate knowledge of the three Reconstruction Amendments (13th, 14th, and 15th), the establishment of military districts in the South, and the impeachment crisis surrounding President Andrew Johnson. The quiz also examines the systematic rollback of civil rights through Black Codes, Jim Crow laws, and the rise of terrorist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan. To succeed on this assessment, students need to understand the political tensions between different approaches to Reconstruction, analyze the constitutional significance of the Reconstruction Amendments, and evaluate how the failure of Reconstruction led to decades of institutionalized segregation and disenfranchisement. Created by Justin Woods, a History teacher in the US who teaches grades 11 and 12. This quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool for students studying one of the most complex and consequential periods in American history. Teachers can use this as a warm-up activity to gauge prior knowledge before beginning a unit on Reconstruction, as guided practice during instruction to reinforce key concepts, or as a review tool before summative assessments. The quiz works particularly well for homework assignments or as an exit ticket to check for understanding after lessons on post-Civil War America. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.11-12.2 for determining central ideas in historical texts and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.11-12.7 for integrating and evaluating multiple sources of information. The content directly supports College Board's AP U.S. History curriculum framework, specifically Period 5 (1844-1877) focusing on the challenges of the Civil War and Reconstruction era.
