"Review Sheet" Test

DIRECTIONS: After compiling and "checking" your Reconstruction vocabulary, construction at least 15 to 20 questions. Your questions should cover the political, economic-financial, and diplomatic events of the period 1865-1877. [These questions would/will require written responses varying from a minimum of one sentence to one well-developed paragraph. But you are not answering them as part of this test.] In terms of focus, these questions can be quite specific/detailed [but not picky] or broader/larger in scope [but not vague/overly broad].
Following each question, you are to attach the key vocabulary terms that go with and/or help answer that question. You may use a key term more than once. You may add other key terms to your questions—ones that are not on the jumbled list below. You must use all of the key terms at least once......
