The Impact of Reconstruction and the Ku Klux Klan on African American Rights

This project explores the contrasting goals of Radical Reconstruction and President Johnson's Plan, highlighting the efforts to secure African American rights through voting, citizenship, and the abolition of slavery. It examines the actions of the Ku Klux Klan, which aimed to suppress African American power in communities, businesses, and churches. The project includes a T-chart comparing these historical approaches and a visual representation of the cycle of poverty faced by sharecroppers after the Civil War, illustrating the socio-economic challenges that arose during Reconstruction.
