Former Confederates were bent on preventing the newly freed slaves from participating in government
During Reconstruction, former Confederates were bent on preventing the newly freed slaves from participating in government. Once Congressional Reconstruction took hold, these Confederates were removed from power and Federal soldiers enforced the new civil rights laws and Constitutional Amendments. However, once Reconstruction ended, this brief period of time
in which African Americans were able to participate in government (voting and holding political office) also ended. Jim Crow -Laws took effect, denying African Americans a real voice in government for 100 years (plus?).
