20) positive and negative effects reconstruction had on the usa. the time from 1865 to 1877 when the us was rebuilding the damage done to the south during the civil war. Positive- Freedman's Bureau: gave African Americans cloths, food, medical care, education, jobs, etc. 3 amendments added to the constitution; 13th; to abolish slavery throughout the nation. 14th; government must treat people equally....15h; minority males allowed to vote. So, blacks were freed, given equal protection under the laws, and their men could vote. Negatives- Ku Klux Klan, kkk, extreme racists with cult-like rituals. Farmland got bad, people started share-cropping.
