Wanted to bring the South back into the Union while protecting the rights and safety of newly freed slaves. They also wanted to integrate society to adjust to being free in all of the U.S. Allowing all Americans to coexist in the end of slavery. It did reunite the nation and brought back the 11 states that had seceded. It led to the enforcement of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments. -Hope Roberts

It kept the same ideals the south had before reconstruction and the same people in power

Attempts made like the Freedmans bureau did not last long. This nation made many promises that they did not follow up on, even returning land that they had given to former slaves. This failed African Americans who had been freed by not allowing them to have what they need to succeed. Emma Garrett

it had kept majority of the same morals and kept going back to their 'racist' ideals such as sharecropping once again. (like the video says, it is like they are back to their pre civil war self.)

They has tried to change their ways for African Americans, but once changes were made,  the republicans were furious and things ended up not changing. They still had their racist ideals for slavery.

the south was still very racist and didn't try to change the ways they thought about African Americans

# data[].attributes.body
The south kept the same ideals about African Americans and people also were still dependent on land they didn't own

they had apparently provided food, housing and medical aid; also even offered legal assistance. those were some ways the reconstruction tried to help the freed slaves.

Reconstruction that failed African Americans who had been freed from slavery all stemmed from the newly established government. The government looked familiar to the previous government, as it was all/majority white. Black Codes and Jim Crow Laws were just a few of the Laws established to restrict the freedom of African Americans. Promises of 40 acres plots from the Freedmen's Bureau and General Sherman Field were never fulfilled and the South remained agricultural with the same people owning large plots of land. With little opportunity to leave freed African Americans would continue to work at plantations under owners as sharecroppers. Not much was changed as reconstruction continued and violence against African Americans increased.

they wanted to unite the south back into the union while still protecting free slave rights and also give more to them. they wanted to unite all Americans so everyone would be equal at the end of slavery and in the end all 11 states were united

the presidential election was won by rutherford for a number of reasons and under his presidency he passed laws like the jim crow laws which made it to where they were segregated once again and could not vote

it didn't change much in the south because the white people in the south were still very stubborn and racist to actually let anything move forward in  their area. so while the north was trying to move forward and help black people have a better life the south didn't want that. they did "try" by sharecropping but it was definitely more beneficial for the whites.

reconstruction did not change much in the south because the south refused to take on the new lifestyles ideas and ways that included African Americans as freed people, thus continuing the strong hate and racism towards black people

reconstruction did not change much in the south because the south did not want to change their racist ideologies. They were not open to new ideas and continued to be fueled by racism and hate towards African Americans, overall would not change their racist mindsets. Sharecroppers were mainly white, and workers did not own the land they were working on, which led this to be the same as it was pre-civil war.

His way of reconstruction was backwards as he was a white supremecist and ultimately worked backwards and did not help the rights of freedmen. He enforced black codes and shut down programs which helped desperate people after the civil war. This ultimately led him to be the first president to be impeached and one of the worst in history for what he did in the reconstruction era
