The way of the Reconstruction
Reconstruction is basically an idea of bringing the North and the South together for which we can agree to after the Civil War. With this came Ammendments that gave more rights to black people such as the 15th ammendment which guarantees them the rights to vote. However in the South they still followed the Black Codes which restricted them for doing such things like voting. Black people were better of now than before the Civil War because now at least the Ammendments are giving them rights although the the South our oppose to the idea. It also affected black people because it shows them that their is compassion towards them and their trying to treat every man equal.
