Question

after the civil war ,why did the federal government try to help the African Americans to the northern status?

Answer 1

I'm assuming by "status," you mean "states." If not, please correct me so I can correct my answer.

The federal government knew that African-Americans would face backlash from Southern White males, so they wanted to prevent that from occurring at all.

I hope this answer helped you! If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask! :)
