That is an extremely general question. Helped them in regards to what? Economics? Racial equality? What?
Black Codes were laws enacted in the southern United States during Reconstruction to restrict the rights and freedoms of African Americans. Their primary purpose was to maintain white supremacy and control over the newly freed Black population by limiting their mobility, employment opportunities, and civil rights. These codes aimed to ensure a labor force that resembled the conditions of slavery, effectively undermining the economic and social gains made by African Americans after the Civil War.
During the Progressive Movement, Booker T. Washington encouraged Black Americans to learn trades.
Reconstruction failed to achieve lasting racial equality and integration in the South, as systemic racism and discriminatory laws, such as Jim Crow, emerged shortly after its conclusion. Economic opportunities for freed African Americans remained limited, hindering their ability to attain true independence. Additionally, the political gains made during Reconstruction were largely reversed, resulting in disenfranchisement and the erosion of civil rights for Black Americans. Overall, the promises of equality and social justice were not fulfilled, leading to enduring disparities.
During the Reconstruction Era, African Americans faced significant negative effects, including systemic violence and intimidation from groups like the Ku Klux Klan, which sought to undermine their newly gained rights. The implementation of Black Codes in many Southern states restricted their freedoms, limiting economic opportunities and enforcing segregation. Additionally, widespread poverty and lack of access to quality education perpetuated cycles of inequality, hindering progress and integration into society. These challenges contributed to a legacy of disenfranchisement and discrimination that persisted long after Reconstruction ended.

During Reconstruction in the South, several types of black institutions were established, including schools, churches, and mutual aid societies. These institutions aimed to provide education, spiritual support, and community assistance to newly freed African Americans. Notably, the establishment of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) played a crucial role in advancing educational opportunities. Additionally, organizations like the Freedmen's Bureau helped facilitate the creation of these institutions, promoting social and economic uplift within the black community.
Because they helped the African Americans get a greater voice in the Government during the presidency of Roosevelt.
