At the end of the war, there are very big changes. The blacks are now free, but they are also now without a home or food. The war has destroyed two thirds of the souts shopping industries and the south has lost 260,000 soldiers. After the war there were many widows and orphans, due to the fact that all who fighted were men.
Linchon had a reconstruction plan put in place, which said that if any confederate who took oath with the uinio would be pardoned. There were no pardons for people who didn't take the oath. All states were to participate in anything the union did they were to come back fully to the union, this was another rule of reconstruction.
Blacks with freedom had the freeedom of movement, freedom to own land, freedom to worship and freedom to learn.
