            The treatment of African-Americans during Reconstruction was terrible. African-Americans were so called "slaves." They became the forgotten people, and people who were lower than the whites. They were hated and abused for reasons different from those that supported anti-black hate and abuse in slavery days. In the Civil rights movement, they were also treated horribly. They boycotted, but still had their rights taken away, mauled by dogs, and sprayed by high power fir hoses. There's not much of a difference, but as time went by, African-Americans began to rebel, and didn't take it anymore. 
           They were not allowed to do much, and certainly were not treated the same as whites. They did rebel because they felt it was not right and they should not have to be treated like this. Many people did little movements to show their rebelling, just as simple as sitting in the front of the bus.
          They were treated horrific, and they really shouldn't have because we are all the same just different appearances. People should  have not been so vulgar. But the treatment during reconstruction was not any better than any other time, until it got better.
