Blog #10 What's the deal with Reconstruction?

Reconstruction happened after the Civil War ended. it was an attempted to reconstruct and put the country back together. the reconstruction had actions that made the South connect and become closer to the Union. President Abraham Lincoln was the one who started taking action during this reconstruction. Amendment 13, 14 and 15 were created during the reconstruction.
Amendment 13 ended slavery in the United States. Amendment 14 stated that anyone born in the United States of America was a citizen of the United States, and permitted former slaves to become citizens. amendment 15 granted black former slaves the right to vote. the fact is that many of these amendments were not legally used to protect former slaves, it dint guarantee that former slaves could vote or become citizens.
from all the pieces of writing we have read so far, we can determine that for many of the people living in the south, the Civil War hasn't ended.
