Reconstruction to present

The Reconstruction Process of the South after the Civil War was a long and tedious one. But, unlike the Reform movements before it, it was left unfinished because of much dispute within the people of the nation, North and South. Many people clashed on what to do with the South after the Civil War. Many plans were created some followed and others ignored. While others supported Social Reform, others were violently against it. And while others still clung on to old ways of life, others embraced a new generation. Today, the new generation is more respectful to the feelings of African Americans. Diversity is a positive way of thinking with the new generation.  From the Reconstruction process of the South after the Civil War until today, the African American identity has changed for the better.
