Reconstruction was a success in most ways. It reunited the U.S., freed slaves, gave those slaves the right to vote, and rebuilt the south. The only thing huge thing it did not do is that it did not change the way southerners thought about people of other races.

President Lincolns life was cut short. His life stripped away from him. A president, a husband and a man. A great man that cared about his country. A man that led his country through its toughest time. A time when the country split apart. He started to rejoin his country. He was one of the greats and will be missed by millions.

Hello my name is William V. Barnes. I am a African American. These few years have been a struggle. All I know is how to farm. I have been educated by the local school to read and write. My life is better but still terrible. I sharecrop. I farm for most of the day and only get 6 hours of sleep. I farm until my crops are harvested and nearly starve all year. When I started sharecropping I had to take a loan then farm and sell my left over crops. It is an endless cycle of nothing. I still have nothing it is nearly as bad as slavery.

During reconstruction the first black senator was elected along with a bunch of representatives. This was huge. Slaves had just got freed and they were already in our government. Hiram Revels was the first black senator ever.The 15th amendment was the reason why this happened. It stated any male of any race can vote. In some states there were more former slaves than other people. This led to the first black U.S. senator. This did not happen again for many years due to the threats of the KKK and other groups.

The law was  The act divided the former Confederate states into five military districts. The states were required to grant African-American men the vote and to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment in order to reenter the Union. The act was created to enforce the laws on the south. Without the military in the south they would not follow the law. The south hated this in fact they gave up a chance to win the election just to get the military out of the south.
