Question

Why was there a need for the reconstruction amendments after the civil war? please help me!!!

Answer 1

In the years following the American Civil War, radical changes were made to the United States Constitution to ensure civil rights for all, regardless of race. These changes are known as Reconstruction Amendments, and they had a massive impact on American society, as one of the Amendments abolished slavery nationwide.

Answer 2

Hi!! Hope this isn't too late. It made slaves free at the end of the Civil War with the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments. It protected everyone from discrimination and slavery. The 13th amendment in 1865 ended slavery along with the Emancipation Proclamation by Abraham Lincoln.
