Economically, the South benefited from Reconstruction. Before Reconstruction, the South was ruined by the war. The South was also one-dimensional economically. As a result of Reconstruction, the South was rebuilt. There also were more industries in the South as a result of Reconstruction. The southern economy became more diversified.
Politically, there were several successes. The slaves were freed as a result of the Civil War. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery. The 14th Amendment gave the rights of citizenship to anybody born in the United States. The 15th Amendment made it illegal to deny voting rights based on race or being a former slave. Former slaves began to vote and some African-Americans got elected to office.
Socially, there were successes also. As a result of Reconstruction, the former slaves were able to get an education. The Freedmen’s Bureau helped establish schools for African-Americans. The Freedmen’s Bureau also helped the former slaves get a new start in life. The Freedmen’s Bureau provided medical care, food, and clothing to them. The Freedmen’s Bureau helped the former slaves find jobs.
Reconstruction had some political, economic, and social successes. While some of these successes weren’t sustained after Reconstruction ended, these successes did exist during Reconstruction.
