Abraham Lincoln started planning for the reconstruction of the South during the Civil War as Union soldiers occupied huge areas of the South.

As a result, the mass of Southern blacks now faced the difficulty Northern blacks had confronted--that of a free people surrounded by many hostile whites. After the Civil War, with the protection of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution and the Civil Rights Act of 1866, African Americans enjoyed a period when they were allowed to vote, actively participate in the political process, acquire the land of former owners, seek their own employment, and use public accommodations. As the violence towards African Americans increased in the South, they became much less likely to not take the opportunity to vote or run in elections, which further destabilized the basic foundation of power that had just been established with the beginning of Reconstruction. With the  privileges the African american, they came with disadvantages. Racism and the Ku Klux Klan, an extremist group that believed in white supremacy, whit nationalism, anti-immigration, and, especially in later iterations, anti-Catholicism, and antisemitism. Living conditions were much better, African Americans lived in small houses but were easily "booted" out by radical Southeners.

This caused plantation owners to start treating the slaves like, dogs. As Fountain Hughes said in the quote below. Fountain Hughes perfectly summed up how the slaves were being treated at the beginning of the war. As a slave himself, he offers an inside look of how the life of a slave was. Though the so anticipated uprising never happened, so the treatment stopped. As the war raged on, many male slaves were brought to the front lines, leaving the women with most of the agricultural work. The slave's day to day lives, would change based on male slaves forced to go fight in the war Many families were separated during the war. Though many families, closer to the union army, escaped to freedom. ]]> 2017-02-03 14:19:27 UTC https://padlet.com/18vossalyssa/ex691ps0djfp/wish/151438428 18nagelpeyton https://padlet.com/18vossalyssa/ex691ps0djfp/wish/151464584 2017-02-03 15:25:12 UTC https://padlet.com/18vossalyssa/ex691ps0djfp/wish/151464584 18nagelpeyton https://padlet.com/18vossalyssa/ex691ps0djfp/wish/151465003 Slaves were freed and joined the Union army to fight for other slaves to be freed.]]> 2017-02-03 15:26:04 UTC https://padlet.com/18vossalyssa/ex691ps0djfp/wish/151465003 18nagelpeyton https://padlet.com/18vossalyssa/ex691ps0djfp/wish/151465672 1.
