Write 2 to 3 paragraph summarizing the effects of reconstruction is in Georgia. Describe key changes that resulted in both successes and failures include only the most important points.

Answer in explanation.

Explanation:

Reconstruction in Georgia was both a success and a failure. At the beginning of the reconstruction, Georgia created a new constitution. It was rejected by Congress, and Georgia created a new one, one that gave African Americans full rights. This, along with the presence of Union troops secured rights for African Americans. With this republicans managed to win a slight majority in the state legislator. This was mostly thanks to the fact that African Americans could exercise their rights to vote. As well as whites having power in the state legislative, reconstruction in Georgia also saw African Americans become part of the state legislative. At first this met opposition, but in the end the African Americans were allowed seating. All of this gave African Americans new rights and increased power. Also, with the help of organizations like the Freedman's Bureau, African Americans were able to adjust to the freedom and really start their lives. 

However, this also led to organizations like the Ku Klux Klan to rise. These groups consisted of democrats and angry white southerners who didn't want the African Americans to have freedoms. They used terrorization and threats to get what they wanted. Eventually, when the Union troops left, Republicans were unable to maintain the control they once had. They lost control of the state legislator to the Democrats. Once Democrats took over, laws that treated African Americans unequally came back. African Americans who were part of the state legislator were forced out by pressure. African Americans lost their newfound rights because of new laws. They were also scared out of exercising their rights by people and organizations like the Ku Klux Klan. This meant the African Americans were pretty much in enslavement again. 

Lastly, not only social changes happened. With government assistance, Georgia managed to recover. Once again they made profits from the crops that the economy relied on. Many of the railroads were rebuilt, allowing the industry to flourish once more. Also, during this time, the process of economic recovery also led to things like tenant farming and sharecropping to become common. People who tenant farmed would rent land and sometimes supplies for farming to make crops to sell. Others did sharecropping where they would work for someone else and help harvest crops in exchange for a percentage of the harvest. However, the economy managed to recover.
