Historians tend to see reconstruction as a mix of successes and failures. based on what you have learned about the goals and struggles of reconstruction, in what ways did it succeed? why do you think so? in what ways did it fail? why? what ideas do you have for how reconstruction could have been handled so it would have been more satisfactory for all involved? would you have changed some of the decisions made by the government? how would you have addressed the strong feelings people had about their culture and way of life?

the process is called revolution because it was a process of great economic-social transformations that began in england in the xviii century.

the industrial mode of production spread throughout much of the northern hemisphere throughout the xix and early xx centuries.

the effect of this revolution was the distance between the countries, with respect to economic and political power.   after all, not all industrialized at the same time, remaining in the condition of suppliers of raw materials and agricultural products to the industrialized countries.

these differences mark to this day the nations of the world that are divided between developed and developing countries. one way to measure whether a country is advanced is to assess how industrialized it is.
