There may have been a few African Americans who were better off after the Reconstruction but the majority of them were worse off. While they were technically "free", they were treated as second class citizens. Most of them were released from their lives as slaves and found themselves without shelter and food.

They really were worse off in some ways. This was because they were discriminated against, robbed, and sometimes killed, by people who did not think they deserved freedom.
