Answer: African Americans recently freed from slavery.

Explanation: After the Emancipation Proclamation, attempts were made during what would be called the Reconstruction Era to help the newly freed slaves to adjust to their new lives. To do this, the reconstruction amendments were proposed in order to protect against the previous slaveholders from trying to reoppress African Americans.
