There were different reasons why some joined. The slaveholders could not afford to lose their slaves, so they joined for that reason. Some average joe's joined because they thought that the north could not stand seeing the south get so prosperous. Some just joined because they did not like President Lincoln. bye friends!!!!!!

By the time the Black Codes were established. Many northerners saw the Black Codes as a covert way to reestablish slavery. Several members of the Freedmen's Bureau spoke out, calling the laws invalid. However, the North had grown weary of Reconstruction. Thoughts had turned to industrialization and making money. Thus, southern states were able to continue to discriminate against blacks with the codes without fear of retribution.
Northerners who went south during the reconstruction motivated by profit or idealism. many were actually interested in helping or freeing slaves.
During the Reconstruction era, many Southerners characterized Northerners as intrusive "carpetbaggers," implying that they were opportunists exploiting the South's post-war turmoil for personal gain. Additionally, they often viewed Northerners as morally superior and meddlesome, accusing them of imposing their values and political views on the South. This perception was fueled by resentment over federal intervention and the presence of Northern politicians and activists in Southern affairs. Overall, this characterization reflected deep-seated regional tensions and the struggle over the South's identity and future.
Scalawags were southerners who helped during Reconstruction and carpetbaggers were northerners who went south to help with Reconstruction. a helpful hint to remember which is which is to remember that scalawags and southerners both start with 's'.
African Americans were the pawn of the northerners in reconstruction. They were the enemy of the south and maintained hope of normalcy.
Well Lincoln had many great policies that helped the confederacy, probably the biggest though was Reconstruction. Reconstruction was the policy to rebuild the South just following the Civil War. Many Northerners disagreed with it and wanted the South to suffer, but not Good Ole' Abe!

The cartoon and letter illustrate the growing disillusionment among northerners regarding Reconstruction efforts, highlighting the perceived futility of the federal government's attempts to rebuild the South and integrate freed slaves into society. As economic challenges and political corruption persisted, many northerners became frustrated with the ongoing violence and lack of progress in achieving racial equality. This shift in sentiment led to a waning commitment to Reconstruction, as people prioritized local issues and their own economic interests over the challenges faced in the South. Ultimately, these factors contributed to a decline in support for Reconstruction initiatives.
