There were three leaders during the time of reconstruction. One of them was the president, Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee, and Fredrick Douglass. Abraham's plan for reconstruction was to reconcile with the South and to preserve the Union. Leader Robert E. Lee wanted the South to stop fighting with the North and reunite with them.And Fredrick Douglass helped with reconstruction by fighting for human rights and civil liberties.
Extra Fact: There were many things that made it seem like black people weren't equal to white people, such as Black codes, KKK, and Jim Crow
