Quatr.us > America > People > Reconstruction. April 2016 - During the Civil War, in 1863 AD, President Lincoln announced the end of slavery. When the North won the war, in 1865, Congress and the states voted to change the Constitution to make slavery illegal, so all the people who were slaves in the South became free. Some people chose to leave the plantations, now that they were free.
Best Answer: The Reconstruction was a period that ended slavery, gave the ex slaves. citizenship in state and nation, and gave the ex slaves (adult males) the right to vote. The Confederate states came back into the Union and were divided into 5 areas with federal troops on hand until 1877, at which time Reconstruction ended. Each of the Confederate states passed laws that segregated the whites from the blacks and passed laws that made it almost impossible for a black to vote.
