Number of pages:

ABSTRACT:
6 pages in length. The political, social and economic conditions after the Civil War defined the goals for Reconstruction. These goals were essentially to rebuild the South's economy on the basis of free labor, readmitting the Southern states within the Union, and integrating the African Americans into the social fabric of American society. When the Reconstruction Period arrived, it looked as though blacks were going to gain even more rights alongside the emancipation that had already taken place; however, it actually proved to represent a time of much disappointment for many. The writer briefly reviews the history of racial plight, including the Reconstruction, Dred Scott, Jim Crow, Black Codes, 13th and 14th Amendments, Plessy v Ferguson and Martin Luther King, Jr. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
