reconstruction vs civil rights

african americans in reconstruction and african american during the civil rights movement were verry different situations but not to different in the way they were treated. the reconstruction was the time after the civil war around the time of the 1860s when the war had just ended and slavery had just been abolished. even though slavery was abolished the slaves werent equal to everyone else and most white people were still really racist. so they put up black codes the intent of the black codes were to keep the freed slaves in a state similar to slavery. the black codes restricted what they could and could not do like blacks couldnt vote even though the 15 amendment says any male can vote they also couldnt hold office, own property, enter some towns with out permission and couldnt intermarry. in 1875 the southern democrats went farther then black codes and made racial segregation which caused schools, hospitals, busses and restraunts to be segregated even though there were already laws against segegation. so overall the african amercians after slavery was abolished they still found ways to mantain white supremecy with loop holes like black codes to keep a slavery like state so the blacks were free but not absolutely free.
the civil rights happened 100 years later
