Reconstruction

I see reconstuction as a failure. Yes, it helped put the country back together, and yes, it gained black's 'rights' but in the same aspect, it helped the South come up with more ways to oppress blacks such as the KKK. Even with the additon of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, angry southerners found loop-hole ways to take away the rights of black living in the South.
