The biggest most resounding accomplishments for blacks during reconstruction were the adoption of Constitutional Amendments. These amendments were the 13th, 14th and 15th. Respectively they gave blacks, in order, abolition of slavery; guarantee of citizenship to the United States and granting civil rights and the right to vote.
Because they were promised their liberation/emancipation from slavery. However due to the fact that many were illiterate they were duped/tricked into leaving that community.
Douglass spent his time as an abolitionist lecturing, writing, and meeting with government officials during the Civil War trying to convince the powers that be to put blacks in uniform and let them fight. Eventually, over 250,000 blacks served in the Union armies.
The free blacks during the slavery were called indentured slaves. They were the ones that were owned by the plantation owners, but they were also paid for the work that they had done on the plantation. When they served their time as a slave which was usually up to not exceeding three years they were freed and told that they could leave. Some of them stayed on and some left the plantations.
it is important to blacks for the way we were treated during slavery the black people is very inportant to blacks through al the stuff we went through trough now every body is equal. :)
