What were some negative effects on the African Americans during the Reconstruction Era?

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.

After the Civil War, African American men gained the legal right to vote with the passage of the 15th Amendment in 1870.

Who did not have equal rights and freedom in the early US?

Depends on how early your talking about. Before the 1920's women, African Americans, Irish, Italians, immigrants, Native Americans, and many other racial groups did not have equal rights and freedoms. Some of the mentioned groups may have had equal rights and freedoms lawfully, but in society were frowned upon and denied the rights and freedoms they were supposed to have.

What is true about African Americans in the military?

The statement that best describes the experience of African-Americans during the American Revolutionary War may be the following: Tantalizing possibilities were considered, some actual freedoms were gained, and then slave-holding reality returned in force. This statement is supported by the experiences of a number of African-Americans on the Revolutionary side of the conflict, some of whom were freed and acted as free men in the military forces of the patriot army. It is also supported by those African-Americans who were freed by the British in return for services to be rendered against the patriot forces. It is finally supported by the general return to slave-holding practices throughout America at the war's conclusion.
