Equal Rights for all during Reconstruction moved forward a bit, but there was still a long way to go. The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments were ratified during this time period.

The 13th Amendment: Abolished slavery

The 14th Amendment: Guarantees due process and equality under the law

The 15th Amendment: Right to vote (regardless of race...but not gender)

People called "Radical Republicans" championed forms of equality and helped enact some civil rights acts. They even placed federal troops in the south to protect minorities.

Even the president at the time was not happy with these changes (Andrew Johnson). He tried to veto many bills and was almost taken out of office by way of impeachment.

Once Hayes became president, many of the advancements went to the wayside. Federal troops were removed from the south, abd segregation (Jim Crow) laws came into effect.

"Rights and duties are two sides of the same coin." Explain with examples​
atroni [7]

Answer:

It is like just one must have and wear the right and left feet shoes as you can't move / walk wearing only either left or right feet shoes. The life and walk is smooth and balanced when the rights and duties go together.

Rights and duties are complimentary and inseparable. If you discharge your duties well, you will automatically get the rights. The one is incomplete without the other. The chapter on the Fundamental Rights was enshrined / written in the constitution in the beginning itself. Whereas the Chapter of Fundamental Duties was added much later. As the citizen has the rights and duties, so has the state. The state government too is issued guidelines framed under the Directive Principles of State Policy. Every citizen has certain duties to perform towards state. I have been a student of Ethics and Civics. The citizens of a great nation must read these two subjects thoroughly. Since the school days the children must be taught Civics, Ethics, Rights and duties. These are must for smooth development of a nation.
