After the Civil War ended, many laws and amendments were passed to help help freedmen with their civil rights but the abolitionists only felt partially successful. The slaves had been freed and were gaining their rights. Even though the abolitionists felt this was a huge success in history, they still wanted the south to cooperate more with the new amendments. The south ignored many of the laws and did not get punished for them. The Northern Abolitionists were now fighting for civil right for African-Americans mainly in the South
