Successful radical reconstruction- effect internationally

I believe that the South was so clearly defeated in the Spring of 1865 that a Federal Government could have combined massive educational efforts, with land redistribution and political rights for former slaves.

Imagine also more explicit Constitutional protection of former slaves and their desendants specifically in places that had legal slavery in 1860.

Does this undermine racism in other countries?
 
Probably, but it will take a while. The US would have to be willing to support Radical Reconstruction for at least a decade or two. The vast majority of the slaves were ignorant and illiterate and that won't be cured overnight.
