2. The effectiveness of Postbellum policies in the Reconstruction
period
After the civil war, the economy flourished as characterized by
the need for industrial raw material like steel for business use
(Karl, 2018). It was at this time, after the Civil War that major
inventions which shape the current working scenario were
realized, such as the printing press and the electric lamp. It was
at this period, between the 60s and 90s, that more than four
hundred thousand patents were issued, which escalated to
millions afterwards. A patent is the right to own a unique
innovation or idea, as defined by the act of intellectual property
right.
The agricultural sector was also influenced, with the
introduction of foreign products into the market, products which
were such as cotton and grains. Technological advancement was
witnessed in Agriculture with the development of new
equipment which enabled production that met the needs of both
the local and foreign markets. Treaties and trade agreements
were realized because the transport sector was rocked with
cheaper services, an impact that was formed from the
competition realized by rivaling firms, which were influenced
by political parties at the time (Manning & Smith, 2016) .
The Reconstruction period was a platform that witnessed the
fight for the rights of African-Americans, who had previously
been subjected to slavery. This was a primary agenda for the
Republican party, as it aimed at the abolishment of slavery
(Gordon-Reed, 2018) from the United States through the
amendment of the constitution. President Abraham Lincoln
never saw the thirteenth amendment come into place as he was
assassinated before he could realize this agenda, which was a
blow to the Republican initiative as he spearheaded their
objective as regards the slavery issue. The unification of the
southern confederate states was the first initiative that president
Johnson, his immediate successor embarked on, in 1865 with
the proclamation of amnesty and reconstruction that aimed at
returning property to the Southerners, with the exception of

constitution (Thompson, 2018).
Conclusion
The goals for freeing African Americans from slavery and the
improvement of economic standards were eventually realized
although the Reconstruction period was plagued by violence and
social injustices.
