Civil Rights Reconstruction

• Following the Civil War, newly freed slaves won
  political rights.
• They voted and many were elected to political
  positions in Southern states.
• But, following the end of Reconstruction (end of
  Union occupation) African-Americans began to lose
  their civil rights as Southern states developed a
  legal system that created a second class economic
  political status for blacks.
