When the war was ended, there was much to be done. The South had to rebuild houses, buildings, farms, and stores, while little of the North had been destroyed. The former slave owners now had to let blacks vote, run for office, and learn. The new country was beginning to reconstruct itself, but it was not easy. The Civil War made man black slaves free of slavery. It lets blacks learn and live in freedom. It brought the country back to together and has been together for many years.
