Reconstruction , also known as Radical Reconstruction , was the period after the American Civil War. During this time, the South was in political, social, and economic turmoil and eleven Confederate states had already seceded from the Union during the wartime unrest. In response, the Union attempted to regain order in the Confederate states during the Reconstruction era. The ex -slave states were divided into 5 military districts by the Reconstruction Act of 1867 and an assistant commissioner was appointed to each district. (afroamhistory.about.com....uction.htm)
Although most Black Codes were eliminated, some state legislatures revised and implemented less severe codes. To make matters worse for newly freed slaves, Abraham Lincoln s successor, President Andrew Johnson, a Democrat, had reneged on his promise to implement Lincoln s reconstruction plan. Not only was he unsupportive of the Freedmen s Bureau but he supported southern white rule over local governments. Abolitionists and radical Republican Congressional members were intent on putting a stop to Johnson s plan. In 1867, the Reconstruction Act eliminated the white controlled governments.

With the local white politicians out of the way, blacks were given the freedom to participate in the political process. Black delegates became an ordinary sight at state constitutional conventions and black state legislators became commonplace. It was at these conventions that blacks helped write new laws and repeal Black Codes. Blacks were also part of the federal legislature; between the Reconstruction period and 1900, two blacks occupied senate seats while twenty served as House of Representative members. Although their numbers were significant for the time, blacks worked alongside white legislative members, as opposed to dominating the political structure (afroamhistory.about.com....uction.htm)
Despite the gains achieved during the Reconstruction era, progress toward equality soon came to an end. It was the 1877 withdrawal of Federal troops from the South by newly elected Republican President Rutherford B. Hayes that led to the end of black political participation. White Southern Democrats soon took control from black and white Republican office holders. By the end of 1877, all of the gains of Reconstruction disappeared and blacks were again relegated to second-class citizenship. It was not until the civil rights movement in the 1960s that blacks would finally receive full citizenship rights (afroamhistory.about.com....uction.htm)
