In Munich and Bavaria, Fasching (as Carnival is called) begins on Epiphany (January 6), but in Cologne and the Rhineland it begins on November 11 at 11:11 AM. In France, it is celebrated only on the day before Ash Wednesday (thus Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday).
Reconstruction refers to the period, generally dated from 1865 to 1877, during which the nationâs laws and Constitution were rewritten to guarantee the basic rights of the former slaves, and biracial governments came to power throughout the defeated Confederacy.
Best Answer: The Reconstruction was a period that ended slavery, gave the ex slaves. citizenship in state and nation, and gave the ex slaves (adult males) the right to vote. The Confederate states came back into the Union and were divided into 5 areas with federal troops on hand until 1877, at which time Reconstruction ended. Each of the Confederate states passed laws that segregated the whites from the blacks and passed laws that made it almost impossible for a black to vote.
