After the Civil War, the status of African Americans in the South became a significant problem due to the systemic racism and economic challenges they faced. Despite the abolition of slavery, many Southern states enacted Black Codes to restrict the freedoms of African Americans and maintain white supremacy. This led to widespread discrimination, violence, and poverty, as newly freed individuals struggled to secure land, employment, and civil rights in a society resistant to their integration as equals. The failure of Reconstruction further entrenched these issues, setting the stage for ongoing racial tensions and injustices.
