What happened to the North and South after the war? What about future political leaders? Five future presidents � Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison, and McKinley � had been Union officers. And what about the newly freed blacks, who were guaranteed freedom by the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments but instead encountered a new form of enslavement through share cropping and Jim Crow laws, not to be reversed until the 1950s and �60s? These issues and more are addressed in this section.
