The Reconstruction Act of 1867 sought to reunite the South with the Union. At the end of the Reconstruction period, equal rights between the races remained an unresolved question and it failed to modify Southern society and redistribute wealth.

Reconstruction was successful in solving nation's economic and political problems as South was readmitted to Union, and the amendments confirmed the rights of blacks. But it was successful only for a short term period.

Reconstruction was the period after the American Civil War in which attempts were made to solve the political, social, and economic problems arising from the readmission to the Union of the 11 Confederate states that had seceded at or before the outbreak of war. Even though there were some initial successes, the Reconstruction was not successful in the long run.

The Southern States tried to create the equivalent of serfdom. Reconstruction ended that possibility. It gave black people the freedom to leave horrible situations. So black people had freedom.

Black people did not gain equality. In that it was a failure.
