How did reconstruction affect African-Americans?

After the Civil War the 15th Amendment was passed that African American males were aloud to vote. This caused many secret southern organizations to sprout up including the KKK (Ku Klux Klan) that would terrorize African Americans. The members of the KKK believed that African Americans were lower then them and they believed in anti-communism (people not being equal to each other) Also since slavery was abolished (gotten rid of) because of the Civil War (13th Amendment that was passed that stated slavery be abolished) African Americans had to find a new way of life, they had to get jobs and live their own lives. They were no longer considered property of another person. Basically African Americans were terrorized by people who believed equality was wrong, and African Americans had to start their own lives and become their own people, no longer having an owner. Hope this helps! :)

African-Americans originally came to the US as slaves, but slavery was abolished around the end of the American Civil war. (Slavery officially ended on December 6th, 1865) However, most of the Southern White population did not like this change, so they used racist laws (such as the Jim Crow Laws) to "keep the blacks in their place".
