The internal evidence cited from “Ecclesiastes” to support
Solomon’s authorship agrees with his perspective as a ruler and a father. The
first evidence is the name he gives himself in the book – Qoheleth, which means
“Preacher”. The “Ecclesiastes” is the book of wisdom which
represents Solomon’s “last words” on the subject of kingship and assembly to
determine the next king (Ecclesiastes 1:1, 2 12; 7:27; 12:8-10). The second
evidence is the problem of succession because Solomon doubts David’s wisdom.
This concern of succession accords with the story of foolish Rehoboam in Bible
(Ecclesiastes 2:18-21). And the third evidence reflects ironic references to
the division of Israel and Solomon’s greatness was being consigned to the
oblivion that he feared. This refers to the prophecy of the reign of Jeroboam
whose name was byword for sin. The kings
of divided kingdom of Israel “followed
in the sin of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin” and were consigned
to the oblivion(Ecclesiastes 4:13-16).

Answer:
Reconstruction (1865-1877), the turbulent era following the Civil War, was the effort to reintegrate Southern states from the Confederacy and 4 million newly-freed slaves into the United States. Under the administration of President Andrew Johnson in 1865 and 1866, new southern state legislatures passed restrictive “black codes” to control the labor and behavior of former slaves and other African Americans. Outrage in the North over these codes eroded support for the approach known as Presidential Reconstruction and led to the triumph of the more radical wing of the Republican Party. During Radical Reconstruction, which began with the passage of the Reconstruction Act of 1867, newly enfranchised blacks gained a voice in government for the first time in American history, winning election to southern state legislatures and even to the U.S. Congress. In less than a decade, however, reactionary forces–including the Ku Klux Klan–would reverse the changes wrought by Radical Reconstruction in a violent backlash that restored white supremacy in the South.
