Best Answer

Reconstruction is how the North punished the South for starting the Civil War (or War Between the States.) The army was stationed in the South until 1877. Blacks were freed, but some had an even worse time as tenant farmers than as slaves. Some white Southerners joined the Ku Klux Klan to harrass blacks and other groups they did not like.
