First and foremost the end of slavery freed the African-Americans who had been restrained for so long. This meant a new found freedom for them and during the period of reconstruction, some 2000 African-Americans held government jobs. However life in the years after slavery also proved to be difficult. Although slavery was over, the brutality of white rice prejudiced persisted.
Yes. Parts of the Confederacy did.
They seceded, 11 of 13 to be exact. They said they were no longer part of "The United States" and they continued with their way of life which included the keeping of slaves and slave labor.

The Reconstruction tried to generate opportunities to end the segregation between white Americans and African Americans in the Southern States by giving them job opportunities and voting rights so they could be elected into important political roles.
During the Reconstruction African Americans were able to enjoy family bonds and tried to make a way for former slaves buying land to cultivate.
The problem was that the way Reconstruction was imposed created a brutal reaction in southern whites, that believed that they were stripped of their liberty, because of that many became committed to keeping blacks in a subservient position. With the election of President Johnson Reconstruction changed and the land was returned to white landowners which avoided land redistribution in the South.
The sharecropping system was a way of maintaining those ex-slaves and African Americans dependent on the landowners, it limited economic development and ensured that the South remained an agricultural location.
