Because of Lincoln being reelected the Emancipation Proclamation was created which showed all slaves are free, though people still kept slaves.
2:Because of Lincoln being reelected the 10% plan happened which was where forgiveness was given to anyone who pledged allegiance and they all had to admit that slavery was wrong and illegal.
3:Because Andrew Johnson became president the 13th amendment was created it showed and told that all slavery is illegal.
4:Because Andrew Johnson was president the first welfare for the United States was created.
1866-18705:Because Johnson was a big southern sympathizer he passed a law for southern black codes.
Southern black codes-They stated that slaves had to have proof of employment or of jail. They also couldn't rent or own guns.
6:Because of southern black codes most slaves ended up going back to their previous owners. They ended up farming for the owners and in return they got a place to stay.

14th- everyone was free and equal except for Indians. 15th- black males were given the right to vote. 8:Because of everyone being equal the Klu Klux Klan was made which involved violent rallies and protests against "equal rights for all".
