What were the lasting effects to the recontruction period

Hello, On the negative side, however, Reconstruction led to great resentment and even violence among Southerners. Terrorist organizations, like the Ku Klux Klan, struck fear into the hearts of African Americans and anyone who cooperated with the Republican governments. Whites were gaining back the power they lost right after the war ended. The effort to help the South was not a total failure. The Union had also been saved. By the 1870s, all of the Southern states were part of the Union again.  Reconstruction encompassed three major initiatives: restoration of the Union, transformation of southern society, and enactment of progressive legislation favoring the rights of freed slaves. Hope That Helps!
