How Did Reconstruction Succeed

Reconstruction was the time of rebuilding after the Civil War in the South when the radical Republicans wanted to grant equality to the freedmen. Even though there was success, reconstruction ultimately failed to grant equality.

Eco Reconstruction failed to give the freedman economic stability, the sharecropping system made it impossible to gain economic stability, it explains that when a farmer promises land and seeds to a worker in exchange for half of the produced crop. In this cycle the worker would need clothing and tools from the land owner, the landowner would sell it to them, and at the end of the season the worker would split the crop with the land owner and they would both sell the crop. Once both the land owner and the worker have sold the crop, the land owner would collect the money that the worker owes for the tools and the clothing, leading the worker into debt if the worker can't pay, they will work for another year. This loop means that the freedman will probably never stop working for the land owner, this system is just a loose definition of slavery without the harsh punishment. This system leads the construction process backward.
The South implied a literacy test for the freedmen to vote. The South passed a literacy test that was required for the freedman. This restricted the freedman's political freedom because most had no formal education, but neither did the average Confederate. So they added a rule that stated if your grandfather voted, you did not have to take the test. This meant that every freedman had to take the test, but no Confederate had to. Document h states the black codes, it states “No negro shall be allowed to come within the limits of the town without special permission”. This is saying that there were laws in place that made it so a black person couldn't go into public places or own property in
