What does the reconstruction era show about the relationship between blacks an whites?it is a history question

While slavery had ended by 1865 amendment to the Constitution, it's safe to say that overall attitudes about black equality with white America hadn't shifted significantly, and the Reconstruction Era proved this.

There were exceptions, such as the volunteers in the Freedman's Bureau who contributed to the education and training of former slaves, but efforts such as theirs were not in the numbers large enough to make a real difference, or to indicate a trend or a change in American beliefs overall.

Unfortunately, Reconstruction is the time where white America, both North and South, abandoned the notion of black equality, or at least, failed to embrace it at all, and they would continue to suffer under heavy and blatant legal and social discrimination for the next one hundred years and, some say, beyond.
