Question

The formation of white supremacist groups was one problem that began during Reconstruction. What was another?

A) excessive funding to support African Americans

B) creation of Black Codes that restricted the rights of African Americans

C) too many freed slaves moving west

D) reduction in the size of the federal government

Answer 1

B) creation of Black Codes that restricted the rights of African Americans

Answer 2

The correct answer is letter C.

The Emancipation Proclamation brought many issues for the nation because black and white people didn't know to live among each other. Due to this fact, African Americans moved from East to West to seek opportunities. In Texas, they could work in agriculture, making 20 dollars a month, which was two times higher wage than they could make in Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee.
