From the Paper:

"They felt a new government would mean new opportunities for them and they would have a chance at joining those who were in the upper class. Because both the upper and the lower class were discontent they banded together to create a revolution and were successful in the endeavor. The reconstruction process was not without its problems but once it was complete there was a new education system and law system in place. The revolution showed upper and lower class members of society that they actually had much in common other than the bottom line financially which helped its society become more cohesive."
