The Reconstruction of the United States was not a success because it did not end the discrimination that was in the South, it had only increased it. By Congress's actions to correct a portion of the economy they lacked the ability to focus on numerous acts at once and thus the fall of the economy in the North diverted their attention and they lost their hold.

Was the Reconstruction terrible, to that it is no. But it could have been more properly notified to the end of there is almost no way to say we had solved those issues at the time. For many, it was simply an act of grace to have their freedoms when they did while for others it merely spelled the end of one slavery and the start of another. There were many successes in the Reconstruction of the South but the loss of that war is easily known as the coming of the Great Depression. The few victories mean nothing if you lose the war, and that is what Congress had done.

The Proclamation of Freedom was written about in the newspapers to show that it had truly been made into a law. Many Southerners did not agree with this for they lost much profit with the end of slavery.

The Ku Klux Klan made quick work of all those who continued to use their new rights. The intimidation of the KKK was made more effortless once Reconstruction ended, ushering in a new age of discrimination. The lynching and murders went without notice to the Southerners for it did not matter to them but the North took notice and had no way to stop it.

The Military Reconstruction Act was put in place by the Radical Republicans ti ensure that their laws were being enforced and had used the military to do so. The South intensely disagreed with this but they did not fight against it. The military power of the Federal government took care of the need for a local police force till Reconstruction ended. The five zones spread over the entire South and made certain that the laws were followed.

The Freedmen's Bureau is the first government agency during the Reconstruction to offer help to African Americans. Its goal was to help all who was poor but it was established for the freedmen from the South. By doing so, they were able to help all who needed it so long as they asked.
