After Reconstruction, life for Black Americans was marked by systemic racism and economic hardship. Many faced Jim Crow laws that enforced segregation and discrimination, limiting their rights and opportunities. Sharecropping became prevalent, often trapping them in cycles of poverty and debt. Despite these challenges, Black communities worked to establish schools, churches, and social organizations to assert their identity and promote resilience.

What was life like for free blacks during the reconstruction?
During Reconstruction, free blacks faced a complex and often perilous existence. While they gained some legal rights, such as the ability to vote and hold office, systemic racism and violence from groups like the Ku Klux Klan posed significant threats to their safety and freedom. Many struggled economically, as opportunities for employment were limited and discriminatory practices persisted. Despite these challenges, free blacks actively sought to improve their communities and assert their rights, laying the groundwork for future civil rights advancements.
