Which former Confederate state had the most blacks holding office during Reconstruction
Reconstruction means rebuilding. During the Civil War, much of the South was destroyed. Reconstruction was rebuilding AFTER the war- both physical rebuilding, and rebuilding the government in the former Confederate States.
Reconstruction collapsed around 1877, when Southern Democrats gained power in all the former Confederate states. The Southern Democrats opposed the reforms of Reconstruction and deprived African-Americans of the political rights they had gained during Reconstruction.

It was the Freedmen's Bureau.
During Reconstruction, former slaves experienced changes to their lives such as gaining freedom, obtaining citizenship, and the opportunity to own land. However, they also faced challenges such as discrimination, violence, and the rise of segregation laws that restricted their rights. Many former slaves sought to reunite with their families, receive education, and participate in politics to secure their newfound freedoms.
