American Revolution to the Reconstruction era

From the American Revolution to the Reconstruction era, how did the lives of women and African Americans change in the US? In other words, if you look across the long span from the late eighteenth to the late nineteenth century, what transformations do you see? If you don’t think the lives of either of these groups changed dramatically, also explain using relevant sources.
/ What were the differences between the North and South throughout the nineteenth century, and what tensions did these differences create? Was there any level of reconciliation between northern and southern states after the Civil War and Reconstruction? Explain.

Instructions: Answer two out of the following five essay questions. Each essay should be two to three pages double-spaced, with 1” margins, MLA citations and a bibliography/Works Cited page. You must use relevant sources from the course to answer the essay questions – you cannot use outside sources. Papers that use outside sources will automatically receive an F. To submit your final exam essays, upload them as a single Microsoft Word document through SafeAssign, which can be accessed through the Assignments tab on Blackboard. Be careful to cite properly, and answer all parts of the two essay questions you pick.
Since this is a take-home final exam, you must approach these essay questions the same way you approached the two major essays you have already written for this course – in other words, write formal essays, and make sure that your grammar and writing style are up to par. Each essay question is worth 50 points.
