During Reconstruction, class and social status created divisions among African Americans, as wealthier blacks often had access to education and economic opportunities, leading to a more privileged status within the community. This disparity sometimes fostered tensions between lower-income laborers and those who had achieved some degree of success, as differing experiences and aspirations influenced social interactions. Additionally, the emergence of a black middle class sometimes alienated poorer blacks, complicating solidarity in the face of ongoing racial discrimination and economic challenges.
