African Americans were the pawn of the northerners in reconstruction. They were the enemy of the south and maintained hope of normalcy.
"white flight" or "traitors" by some members of their community.
After the Civil War the 15th Amendment was passed that African American males were aloud to vote. This caused many secret southern organizations to sprout up including the KKK (Ku Klux Klan) that would terrorize African Americans. The members of the KKK believed that African Americans were lower then them and they believed in anti-communism (people not being equal to each other) Also since slavery was abolished (gotten rid of) because of the Civil War (13th Amendment that was passed that stated slavery be abolished) African Americans had to find a new way of life, they had to get jobs and live their own lives. They were no longer considered property of another person. Basically African Americans were terrorized by people who believed equality was wrong, and African Americans had to start their own lives and become their own people, no longer having an owner. Hope this helps! :)
After the Civil War, blacks held a variety of political offices such as serving in local and state legislatures, city councils, and as sheriffs, mayors, and even members of the U.S. Congress. African Americans played a significant role in Reconstruction governments in the South and made historic advances in political representation during this period.
