<u>Answer:</u>
The strong politics of radical reconstruction was largely ineffective in changing the attitudes of White southerners towards African Americans because the white southerners were not mentally ready to accept African Americans as socially equal human beings.

- The efforts taken by radical Republicans in the 1860s and 1870s in order to establish a society without the prevalence of racial discrimination mostly proved unsuccessful.

Plumbing was more of a luxury/comfort for people that also made their life easier. Baths were common and were usually taken while standing up in public baths. Bathing was also used for ceremonial purposes in religious services and rituals. Toilets were only limited to those who could afford them, so the upper class. Lower classes used urns or sump pots. Upper class toilets were stacked bricks with a hole that would drain out. Plumbing on the 2nd floor though was led by pipes to the streets. Limestone was used to prevent leakage.
