Reconstruction had both positive and negative effects on African Americans. On one hand, it led to significant advancements, such as the abolition of slavery, the establishment of schools, and the granting of voting rights through the 14th and 15th Amendments. However, the period also saw the rise of Jim Crow laws and systemic racism, which enforced segregation and disenfranchisement, leading to long-term challenges. Ultimately, while Reconstruction provided initial gains, the subsequent backlash limited its benefits for many African Americans.
