When the war was over the south was mad about losing and had a lot of there resources destroyed. Reconstruction helped reunite the nation even though southerners and northerners didn't agree on some things. During reconstruction southern cities were rebuilt and black men were also given a right to vote which was important for the future of how the united state would be run.

Black men were able to work after the civil war, sharecropping was almost as bad and the only reason people thought that it was justified was that they were maybe giving them money but they usually just went into debt.

There was attempts at progress (like the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments) but the drawbacks outweighed those attempts.

It wasn’t a time of reconstruction because of sharecropping, yes African Americans had rights but they couldn’t really use them because they weren’t financially independent. Also because sharecropping made African Americans stuck in the cycle of working hard labor with little to no pay.

I think reconstruction in the south was making progress towards America as a chance to start over.

The 14th amendment also helped during reconstruction stating, “No state shall make or enforce any law that takes privileges from a certain group of people.”

This says, no laws should be created to take away rights from groups of people.

Reconstruction was good for the USA because not only did they abolish slavery, they also created the fifteenth amendment. Since the fifteenth amendment allowed black men to vote, the US was less likely to ever have a racist president.
