For African Americans in the South after the Civil War, what help
did they receive? What challenges did they face?
A lot of the slaves that were separated from their families because of slavery were able to reunite with them.Also the slaves started their own churches and schools, looking for economic autonomy, and demanding equal civil and political rights.In 1865 and 1866 many white Southerners joined memorial associations that established Confederate cemeteries and monuments throughout the region. Others, unwilling to accept a new relationship to former slaves, resorted to violent opposition to the new world being created around them."America's Reconstruction"
