The North gave the South funds to rebuild the farms and helped Freed men to have small plots of land in which to farm. The North passed laws to protect the rights of all, including Blacks, however, the white supremacist groups were more interested in regaining their political and social status at the expense of former slaves. The 14th and 15th amendments were passed to help Blacks attain equality however, groups like the Ku Klux Klan aborted these by using terror tactics or special laws to prevent Blacks from voting. The old cotton crop funds the South sold to Europe now had to compete with cotton sources from Egypt or India.
