During Reconstruction, African Americans faced significant challenges, including systemic racism and violence from groups like the Ku Klux Klan, which sought to undermine their newly gained rights. Many Southern states enacted Black Codes that restricted their freedom and economic opportunities. Additionally, the promise of land and economic support often went unfulfilled, leaving many in poverty despite their formal emancipation. Political disenfranchisement further marginalized African Americans, complicating efforts to secure civil rights.
