Was reconstruction a success?  Yes it was. The salves were treated way better than before the war. Even though they still were treated bad they working for nothing. No man was owning another man.As Far as presidents and acts go the reconstruction was a fail.

But since the the civil war was based on slavery. The slaves Were treated better the had full citizen ship, vote, and were free. So I do believe  that reconstruction was a success.

This is a political cartoon from the reconstruction of 1867. This Political cartoon is significant because the K.K.K was a threat to carpet baggers and scalawags. If the K.K.K found out that you were a Southern white republican. They would burn a cross in your yard or they could kill you

The Reconstruction act of 1867 dived the south into five military districts.The North dived the south into five districts because the south wasn't letting African American men vote. So they put the military in the south to enforce the rules. The south did not like the military. So when the election came  around Tilden won by a popular vote but lost by one electoral vote. So the south and the north had an agreement.The north would withdraw the military if the south let Hayes be elected.

The act of 1867 allowed the military to go in to the south.The Military separated the south into five military sections. These were all controlled by  generals. This was enforced so the south would follow the laws, treat African American men  and allow them to vote . The law that they had to follow was the 14th Amendment anyone who was born in the United states could become a citizen.The Southerners did not react to this well the created the KKK.The KKK wanted to throw out the republican party and the reconstruction act.
