President Andrew Jackson's Reconstruction granted freedom and political rights to the slaves and gave them opportunities to acquire land. But the State Legislatures in the Southern States almost immediately established so-called "black codes" in their States, severely limiting these rights and practically preventing blacks to find work as paid labourers.

The Reconstruction Era occurs right after the Civil War, which along with freedom already provides changes to African Americans. Because of this, African Americans were no longer slaves and could perform in practices of business, such as sharecropping. Basically, it opened a range of new opportunities to African Americans.
The goals of reconstruction were to readmit and rebuild the Confederate states and help African Americans back into society.

President Andrew Johnson's attitude toward African Americans significantly influenced his approach to Reconstruction by promoting leniency towards the Southern states and opposing civil rights for freed slaves. He believed in a swift restoration of the Union without strong protections for African Americans, which led to the implementation of Black Codes that restricted their rights. Johnson's unwillingness to support measures that would empower African Americans ultimately hindered the progress of Reconstruction and exacerbated racial tensions in the South. His presidency is often criticized for failing to address the needs and rights of newly freed African Americans.
