Question

Pretend you’re an African American living in a Southern State. Write a short journal entry about your feelings regarding Reconstruction and it’s impact on it’s/your life.

Answer 1

Umm I can give you some pointers for you to make up an entry.. source: I’m black lol

during reconstruction
- black people faced intimidation from the kkk
- had a hard time adjusting in the free world after slavery
- were not able to get jobs easily

It was an overall negative experience and had negative impacts on people’s lives minus the fact that were newly freed, they were still treated like slaves
