In 1865, slavery was abolished, and all men were given the right to vote. Did that actually happen? Why or why not?

Slavery may have been abolished but it was still a very long time before people of all races enjoyed the same luxuries. Although they were technically free from slavery they ended up being slaves again for a very long time in order to have jobs and be able to support themselves and there families. Also just because slavery had been abolished it doesn't mean people just started treating African Americans equally, there was still a lot of extreme racism and it ended with a lot of violence.

the reform movements that arose during the antebellum period in america focused on specific issues: temperance, abolishing imprisonment for debt, pacifism, antislavery, abolishing capital punishment, amelioration of prison conditions (with prison's purpose reconceived as rehabilitation rather than punishment), the humane treatment of animals, the humane and just treatment of native americans, the establishment of public institutions for the care of the destitute, orphans, blind, and mentally ill, the establishment of public schools, the abolition of tobacco use, vegetarianism, health reform, homeopathic medicine, woman's rights (including, at first, especially the establishment of a woman's right to own property apart from her husband and her right to sue for divorce), and the amelioration of labor conditions (including higher pay, the right to form unions, the right to strike, and the demand for limits on the number of work hours, and safe working conditions).
