What problems did Texans encounter when trying to pass a new constitution during Reconstruction?
mixer [17]

Answer:

- Many of white citizens still couldn't accept the fact that they have to live alongside black citizens

- Confederate influence still strong in this area

- Economic stagnation

Explanation:

<u>- Many of white citizens still couldn't accept the fact that they have to live alongside black citizens</u>

These people spent hundred of years living in a society where their group were seen as superior to the blacks who held the status as slaves. It's impossible that their mindset could completely changed overnight. This is why even after slavery was legally abolished , many of them still treated the ex-slaves really badly.

<u>- Confederate influence still strong in this area</u>

This made a lot of Texans at that time completely ignored the instructions from the Federal government during the reconstruction and choose to listen to ex-confederate leaders instead.

-<u> Economic stagnation</u>

Abolishment of slavery destroyed Texans economy. This caused a lot of unemployment that lead to resentment toward the Federal government.
