D.) Southern states rejoined the Union
The reconstruction era also allowed African Americans to gain education in the South, however, i dont think there were a lot of African Americans being able to achieve and keep equal rights. The Freed slaves also still was given prejudice, and it will be a wonder if they even go jobs in the South. The southern economy also grew slowly, as most of their lands were destroyed, and they had to rebuild.
hope this helps
