Use the table below to prepare notes about how successful, in hindsight, the post-Civil War period was in achieving goals of the Civil War. Remember that one of those goals was to preserve the Union. Others included abolition, along with the enfranchisement and citizenship of African Americans. The first column of each row names an event and its date. In the second column, define or describe that event. In the third column, explain whether the event helped achieve a Civil War goal, and if so, what that goal was.
