If Black men got the right to vote in 1870 what did that say about White men?
white men always had the right to vote. It should be noted black men only got the right to vote in 1870 symbolically. That's what the civil rights movement was about (partially). Black men didn't really get the right to vote until the Voting Rights Act in the 70s I think (maybe 1960s). APPROVED ANSWER: After the Civil War, and the process of Reconstruction had began, blacks did hold public office on the local, state, and national levels of government. Most White southerners resented the reconstruction governments and were opposed to Blacks voting and holding public office. Whites began forming secret organizations. The best known were the Knights of the White Camelia and the Ku Klux Klan. Members of these organizations dressed in ghostly costumes rode the countryside at night, terrorizing both Black and Whites who did not approve of their policies, and prevented Blacks from exercising their rights. In a series of Force Acts in 1870 and 1871, Congress made it illegal to prevent people from voting. President Grant ordered federal troops into most parts of the South, where the violence was most widespread. Hundreds of Klan members were arrested and convicted and the organization was broken. By the end of 1871, the Klan's activity had declined. However, the victory would only be a short one. Although the secret societies were destroyed, White intimidation of Blacks continued. By 1873, most Blacks were afraid to vote in the South, and White Democrats were gaining control of assemblies. The Democrats were also able, to take back control of Congress, and state legislatures. By 1876, White "redeemers" had captured all but three of the southern states, which were, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Florida where federal troops were still serving. When President Rutherford B. Hayes removed all federal troops in 1877, the reconstruction came to an end. The end of reconstruction also marked the end of the nationwide crusade for Black rights. It would not be until the 1960's, until Blacks would be granted the rights they should have been able to enjoy in the 1860's and 1870's.
How did the policies of the reconstitution era affect African Americans?
I think you are referring to the Reconstruction era, a period of time after the civil war ended, lasting from 1865 to about 1877. While the good news for southern black people (then called "Negroes") was that slavery had been abolished, the bad news was that bigotry and discrimination lived on. At first, there were many freed southern blacks who saw the reconstruction with great hope; they believed they would finally attain equality. The Freedman's Bureau was established by congress, and it was tasked with making sure black people were protected in areas such as work (for which they now had to be paid), and education. Many former slaves were eager to study, and a number of new schools (many founded by Christian missionary societies) opened up, including some black colleges that trained future teachers, nurses, doctors, businessmen, and members of the clergy. Thanks to the 14th amendment, black males were now considered full citizens. They could vote, and some even ran for office. By some estimates, as many as 1,500 black men were elected-- some at the local level, but there were sixteen who were elected to congress for the first time. Hiram Revels, from Mississippi, became the first black senator in 1870.However, as I said earlier, bigotry and discrimination had not gone away. Many southern whites were angry and resentful about the gains the freed blacks were making, and soon, laws to limit equal opportunity began to get put into place. By the 1880s, many southern states had severe restrictions that limited the number of black men who could vote or run for office. There were also secret (and not so secret) racist societies emerging, including the beginnings of the Ku Klux Klan; these white men intimidated blacks and prevented them from voting, as well as threatening them with violence if they refused to return to a subordinate status. There were other laws put into place at the state level that limited the professions blacks could enter, as well as restricting where they could live or go to school. By 1896, segregation had become the law of the land, even upheld by the US Supreme Court.

What secret organization was formed after the civil war that targeted and terrorized blacks?
The answer you are looking for is found at the source of the question.

An organization would do this by degrading another race. This can be accomplished through a process of lynching or just public humiliation. It's the kkk. Hope you enjoyed the extra stuff!
