The problems during Reconstruction really hurt race relations and led to the tough times of the Jim Crow era.

1. Not Protecting Rights:

   • The changes made during Reconstruction, called amendments, were not fully applied. This allowed some states to create unfair laws against African Americans.

2. Growth of White Supremacy:

   • Groups like the Ku Klux Klan appeared, causing fear and violence towards African Americans.

3. Economic Hardships:

   • There wasn't enough support for African Americans to succeed financially, which kept many in poverty and limited their chances.

4. Social Separation:

   • Jim Crow laws enforced racism and created a big divide in society. This made stereotypes and discrimination even worse.

To fix these problems, we need to focus more on teaching civil rights, creating fair economic plans, and having strong laws that protect people from discrimination. By getting involved, we can work to change the effects of the past.
