The South had to rebuild a lot of buildings and farms while the North had very little damage done. While farmers had former slaves working on crops and other things, they now had to let slaves vote, go to school, run for office, and pay them for their work. Segregation was now in play. Whites and blacks had to ride in different carts for transportation. They had to go to different schools, drink from different fountains, and go to separate bathrooms. Many, many people died from the Civil War, which broke up many families leaving destruction in their hearts. The social order changes as well. Now that slaves were free they were moved up. Still they were not placed highly and women were not as equal as the men. The political changes to the south had to be the most obvious. Only because it ended the dispute between the North and South. During the Reconstruction period the new state government was over powered by scalawags. Restrictions were put on blacks rights and eventually laws called the " Jim Crow Laws" were passed. The "KKK" was founded to keep African Americans from voting. Many African Americans died due to this cause. People still believe in the African Americans should be slaves. People still use words toward them that are not needed. Everyone should be equal in America. The "KKK" would do their work in the dark so that no one would see them on the attack. Now thanks to the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments African Americans now have the same rights as Americans do today.
