Blacks became politically active, taking up political offices. Black schools and universities were founded. Negative: KKK founding Black Codes, which led to Jim Crow Many freedmen were killed in an attempt to "recapture" slaves. The South faced economic turmoil caused by printing CSA bills and carpetbaggers. The bad handling by Andrew Johnson led to his Impeachment.
