The Jim Crow south needed to show African Americans that they were still superior, so they created groups such as: The White Mob and the KKK, White Supremacists were in control of those groups.]]> 2021-02-05 16:28:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jterhaar1/xkw0h96gc1qp8363/wish/1169032673 sarah_willis22 https://padlet.com/jterhaar1/xkw0h96gc1qp8363/wish/1169033423 Despite the fact that, in society, racism was still prominent, American laws began shifting towards equality through changes such as The Fifteenth Amendment, written in 1870, which gave all citizens, no matter their race or previous enslavement, the right to vote (Doc 4). This achieved the overdue milestone of black Americans’ opportunity to participate in american democracy, furthering racial equality in America and proving the beginning of the nation’s recognition of black Americans as true and equal american citizens. ]]> 2021-02-05 16:28:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jterhaar1/xkw0h96gc1qp8363/wish/1169033423 anna_siegwald22 https://padlet.com/jterhaar1/xkw0h96gc1qp8363/wish/1169034731 The purpose of the fifteenth amendment was to provide equal rights for all citizens, however, after the civil war, the south was able to deny African Americans the right to vote by imposing poll taxes, forcing them to take literacy tests, and interrogating them at the polls, which overall proves how racism was never demolished (doc 4). The Radical Republicans tried to enforce such laws after the war, however, no change was brought about due to the underlying issue of white supremacy. ]]> 2021-02-05 16:28:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jterhaar1/xkw0h96gc1qp8363/wish/1169034731 coleanderson22 https://padlet.com/jterhaar1/xkw0h96gc1qp8363/wish/1169039388 As seen in Document 3, in response to reconstruction equality measures, such groups like the Ku Klux Klan and eventually the White League reestablished white supremacy in the United States through intimidation, which lead to the failure of reconstruction and shaped the U.S. well into the 1900’s. From the point of view of someone tasked with enforcing reconstruction, the Ku Klux Klan would be one of the biggest threats against reconstruction in the South and eventually the North that needed to be taken care of, but it is easier said than done.]]> 2021-02-05 16:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jterhaar1/xkw0h96gc1qp8363/wish/1169039388 avery_daly22 https://padlet.com/jterhaar1/xkw0h96gc1qp8363/wish/1169041511 With the time that America was given to rebuild itself it found itself at war again,]]> 2021-02-05 16:29:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jterhaar1/xkw0h96gc1qp8363/wish/1169041511 forrester_faia22 https://padlet.com/jterhaar1/xkw0h96gc1qp8363/wish/1169041532 Throughout the late 19th century, even with the laws and rules, white supremacists found ways to suppress African voters by scaring them and terrorizing them.
The purpose of the 15th Amendment was to give citizens, specifically African Americans, the right to vote with the federal government supporting them (Document 4). ]]> 2021-02-05 16:29:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jterhaar1/xkw0h96gc1qp8363/wish/1169041532 grace_kerkbashian22 https://padlet.com/jterhaar1/xkw0h96gc1qp8363/wish/1169047492 Post civil war, American society was greatly changed by reconstruction and organizations such as the Freedman's Bureau. Because of African Americans increase in civil rights and the new opportunities of advancement provided to them, freed men were able to create a life they so greatly deserved.

Before the Civil War, African-American children weren’t even receiving an education, let alone one from white teachers, proving the benefits of the Freedmen’s Bureau within Reconstruction [Document 1].
