After the Civil War, the federal government was not very successful at providing freed slaves and their offspring's rights. If everyone abided by the law, then legally slaves would've successfully had their Civil Rights but actually their was very little change after the Civil War.
The 13th and 15th amendments all were supposed to help give blacks their Civil Rights but because of intimidation or the fact that most slaves knew no other life, barely any progress to end slavery was made.

Freedmen's Bureau was created by the Congress and it was supposed to proved food, clothing, education, and land. Education was successful in the making of Freedmen's Bureau but land was not, so m any slaves just went back to their owners. The 15th amendment legally gave blacks the right to vote but because of intimidation, and tests that were impossible to pass, many blacks were to scared to vote. The Ku Klux Klan was an all white group who's objective was to keep blacks from voting by lynching, burning crosses, and wearing white hoods. Before blacks could vote, they were given tests such as literacy tests, knowing few blacks could read and that they wouldn't pass the test. Legally, blacks should've had the Civil Rights to be free from slavery and to vot but because laws were able to be broken, they were.
