It's really a matter of opinion.
Slavery was abolished by Abraham Lincoln
They could get jobs doing what they wanted and weren't controlled by people
But,
The Ku Klux Klan made their lives hell. they killed some, lynched others, burned them etc. Generally not very nice to them
Their were laws made that divided white and black even more.
So i think, no it didn't. At least on the plantations they were quite safe. Their lives were in danger after.
Black Slaves created a massive amount of wealth, nearly 100% of the wealth for the comfort and financial gains of Whites that Whites now proudly claim "they" worked hard for (so called self made men). Whites were overseers and slave owners who did no work to create any wealth until the very late 1800's to the early 1900's. Lets' see [1600 to 1900], that would be about 300 years right past the Civil War and right on time for the cotton gin, huh? It's historical fact proven by over 200 years of free uncompensated slave labor to be conservative. We should not forget to throw in the era of criminal slave labor and chain gangs which add on at least another 75 to 100 years. Sometimes we have selective memories in this country, "land of the free." If the Black slaves were afforded the same rights to keep the wealth they broke their backs for, Blacks today would have inherited wealth, land, resources, good educations and formed communities and businesses from which group economics are practiced and passed it on to future generations just as you now see with other ethnic groups. But it did not happen that way. The KKK and a majority of White American citizens made certain of that. Only 2% of all Whites were in favor of freeing the slaves via national poll - post Civil War. Blacks didn't even get the 40 acres and a mule promised to them. Whites stole nearly 100% of the wealth, land, resources ect... and then continued the oppression of Blacks throughout the Jim Crow era, fighting tooth and nail against the Civil Rights Movement and has the nerve to tell Blacks to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Black's problem was never really Civil Rights though. It is the total theft of the wealth, land rights and resources that was and is the problem. Legislation of any kind has not helped because it is money that people need to compete in this society. Wealth that has been stolen from the Black race and passed on down the line throughout the White race for 17 generations. Blacks pay for everything under the sun in taxes (a smack in the face), fought in wars they didn't start but are still expected to contribute what they never had in the first place, for many things they are not responsible for, while Whites who have inherited all of the stolen wealth now claim "oh, why should we contribute to helping pull Blacks up? We didn't do it. Our ancestors did that" But they continue to benefit from the stolen wealth anyway with no sympathy for what their ancestors have done to another group of people. It's no wonder that the Black race has never recovered and have no financial platform to do so today. They have 400 years up catching up to do and always have amid the onslaught of constant and pressing discrimination that has taken up much of their time in just attempting to win a level playing field, to end up playing in a game of monopoly with no money from the get go. Land on the wrong property, you either go bankrupt or go to jail. LOL That's the answer to that question.

How did reconstruction affect African-Americans?
After the Civil War the 15th Amendment was passed that African American males were aloud to vote. This caused many secret southern organizations to sprout up including the KKK (Ku Klux Klan) that would terrorize African Americans. The members of the KKK believed that African Americans were lower then them and they believed in anti-communism (people not being equal to each other) Also since slavery was abolished (gotten rid of) because of the Civil War (13th Amendment that was passed that stated slavery be abolished) African Americans had to find a new way of life, they had to get jobs and live their own lives. They were no longer considered property of another person. Basically African Americans were terrorized by people who believed equality was wrong, and African Americans had to start their own lives and become their own people, no longer having an owner. Hope this helps! :)
