Southern Troops withdrew from the south and southern whites who never accepted Negros as their equal quickly restored their control. Groups such as the KKK were formed terrorizing blacks.
Reconstruction collapsed around 1877, when Southern Democrats gained power in all the former Confederate states. The Southern Democrats opposed the reforms of Reconstruction and deprived African-Americans of the political rights they had gained during Reconstruction.
No. African Americans and women were not allowed to vote. Women gained the right in 1920 and African Americans in 1867, but it wasn't until a 100 years later that they fully gained voting rights due to "Jim Crow" laws.
African Americans
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. However, many Southern states implemented discriminatory practices, such as literacy tests and poll taxes, to disenfranchise Black voters. It wasn't until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that many of these barriers were effectively challenged, ensuring broader access to voting for African Americans.

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. Women gained the right to vote in the 1920's making them more equal to the men population of American citizens.

Sudan is the African country that split into a northern and southern region. In 2011, South Sudan gained independence from Sudan after a long civil war.
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.
After Reconstruction, southern society experienced economic struggles, political upheaval, and social tensions. African Americans gained some rights and representation but faced systemic discrimination and violence. The Southern elite sought to regain power and control through tactics like sharecropping and Jim Crow laws.
