African americans lost many of the rights gained during reconstruction by the late 1800s because of intervention by the federal government.

In the Reconstruction period following the Civil War, newly freed African Americans faced monumental challenges to establish their own households, farm their own lands, establish community institutions and churches, and to pursue equal justice under the law in a period of racist violence. Under the Reconstruction Acts, black men in southern states could vote and hold office for the first time. They served as delegates to state constitutional conventions and replaced the Black Codes with new laws that protected civil rights and established public education for all children. After Reconstruction ended in 1877, however, Southern legislatures passed poll taxes to keep African Americans from voting.

3. Wider view of the world for Europeans because remember they lived in a manor and never were exposed to the outside world and education from trade.

Which groups benefited least from the reforms of the progressive era?

Paha777 [63]

As in any era where reforms happen, there are winners, and losers.

The rich, Big Business benefit the most, while the middle and lower classes benefit the least
The unions benefit in that more people are wont to join for the protection they offer, and for a fair deal.
Consumers may benefit in the short term, however as we see, prices always go up, and quality always go down.

Women, Children, and the African Americans are the least groups to benefit, or were many years ago, as they had no real champions for their cause.
Hope this helps!!!!
