What evidence is there to support the different motives? Now that we know the different motives behind the opposition, we need to see what examples we have to support that this were the case. TASK 1: You have each been one of the motives to look at and some information with regards to it. I would like you to create a teaching resource to show how your motive was key in driving opposition against Reconstruction. You will then use this to teach other groups when they come to visit your desk shortly.
