What was an effect of Southern poll tax and literacy test laws

I feel like Reconstruction was a failure. First off, it didn't solve any of the issues that caused the Civil War. I tore the country more apart because Democrats were in control. The military was pulled from the districts therefore laws weren't enforced anymore. Basically Reconstruction was a waste of time and money although we did earn the 3 amendments that are vital to America today, which are the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendment. That's my outtake of reconstruction.

They heavily influenced political views in the south. They were northerners who were mad because all their money was going to poor former slaves and whites. So they moved to south and took advantage.

As you can see, the reconstruction made some twist and turns. I chose this because it shows you when it starts and ends. It's also important because it shows you what else was going in the world at the time.

Today has been difficult. The land I was taken care of didn't grow much crops. It could be due to all the bad weather we are having. Anyways, so many things have changed. I actually get to vote and I voted for that Hiram Revels guy. He seemed the right guy we need. I don't know much about these politics but i'm just happy I can participate. Those republicans are real kind folk. I hope to become one of them soon after I save enough crops to sell.

These gentlemen are important because they helped with getting former slaves the rights and laws needed. All of them were the first or second colored Americans to take a hold of office. The 15th amendment allowed for any skin color to vote. This allowed for the voting of African Americans into office because they made up most of the votes.

The Military Reconstruction Act was a law passed by Congress to send troops to the South and divide it into 5 districts. It was enforced because the South was not following the previous rules and laws passed by Congress. As well as the police officers not enforcing the law was. The southerners resented this very much because they didn't want to do want the Republicans wanted.

Are you a former slave or a poor white? Do you need financial help after the war? Don't worry the government is here to help. We will help provide you with food, education, and shelter. Just remember to vote Republican!

-This image is related to the Freedmen's Bureau because it followed after the freedom of slaves. This allowed former slaves to become a citizen. It also represents freedom that was granted to them by the Radical Republicans.
