What kind of condition was the u s after the civil war?

To put it small, a very, very bad condition. Many southerners wanted to still have slaves but slavery was pretty much destroyed. To them this was a big problem, but it wasn't nearly their biggest. The entire U.S. struggled and after the Civil  war, their was "Reconstruction" to try to fix society. The Civil War ended on May 9th, 1865 and the Thirteenth amendment was passed on December 1865. People of all races were in a rough time, fixing building, homes, etc. African Americans had trouble getting jobs due to heavy discrimination and usually had to work as servants. It took the U.S. all they way to 1877 to start to be fully back.
