Rights given and taken away from former slaves during Reconstruction?
The Reconstruction Acts (all 4 of them) did not really deal with slaves or former slaves; they provisioned for reconstructing the southern states and the re-incorporation of those states back into the "union" (the US) plus requirements to pass certain parts of constitutional amendments (namely the 14th amendment - not the 13th which banned slavery). The Emancipation Proclamation and the Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution are what involved "rights" of slaves (former slaves); however those 'rights' were not fully implemented until the (supposed) end of segregation in 1968.
