In order to ensure that southern states could not simply change their constitution after they were re-admitted
What was accomplished for blacks during reconstruction?
The biggest most resounding accomplishments for blacks during reconstruction were the adoption of Constitutional Amendments. These amendments were the 13th, 14th and 15th. Respectively they gave blacks, in order, abolition of slavery; guarantee of citizenship to the United States and granting civil rights and the right to vote.

What caused African Americans to be treated like slave under President Johnson's plan for the Reconstruction?

Did Caesar Chavez change the law?
Under United States Labor Law, the National Labor Relations Board has no jurisdiction over agricultural workers. This goes a long way to explain why so many agricultural workers have such poor lives in the United States. Largely as a result of Caesar Chavez' work, in 1975 California passed the Agrcultural Labor Relations Act. As a result, in the State of California, agricultural workers have rights that they do not have in other states.

How did the voter requirements set by some southern states after the civil war circumvent the fifteenth amendment?
Following the Civil War, the southern legislatures, established under President Johnson's plan for reconstruction, expected the newly freed Blacks to continue to be the backbone of southern agriculture. The Blacks wanted the work but they also expected their Civil Rights. Instead, Southern Legislatures enacted Black Codes. These were laws designed to limit the rights of the Blacks and in all the Southern States, blacks were not granted the right to vote. An example of the Black Codes were laws that said a person could register to vote only if his grandfather had been registered to vote. In some states, blacks were forbidden by law to live in cities or towns. Another law allowed blacks to work only in agriculture or as domestic servants.
The civil rights movement was not violent because states wanted blacks and whites to be treated equally?

How did northerners view the civil rights of slaves before the civil war?
The northern States had been abolitionist all along and freed slaves basically had the same civil rights there as anyone, including the right to vote. The southern States recognised the right of slave owners to free their slaves but their civil rights were in practice unequal to those of whites, a situation that was to remain almost unchanged until the 1960s. The right to vote in southern States was non-existent for blacks before the Civil War. Even after the Civil War, many southern States would enact the so-called Grandfather Clause in their voting legislation to keep blacks from the voting registers. This Grandfather Clause meant that anyone wishing to vote had to pass a literacy test or even several tests first before he could register, unless his father/grandfather already had been qualified to vote (that is, before the Civil War). This meant that illiterate whites could simply register, and illiterate blacks had to pass the tests first.
When were blacks given equal rights?
Blacks in the United States were officially granted equal rights through the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. This landmark legislation was a significant step towards racial equality in the country.

Did Abraham Lincoln give rights to the blacks?
No- not really, He did issue the famous proclamation that freed the slaves in the seceded states, but that was pretty much the extent of the rights that he gave to blacks. But of course, he died just as the Civil War ended. He did not have any opportunity to deal with what rights should be given to ex-slaves beyond freedom to go where they wanted to go, and the power of the President to give out rights is quite limited.
What is U.F.W?

The UFW focuses on issues such as fair wages, better working conditions, and labor rights for agricultural workers.
