In the North (Union)
Slavery apart, the North was not more egalitarian than the South. In 1860 the wealthiest 10 per cent of Northerners owned 68 per cent of the wealth: these figures were almost identical in the South.

Reconstruction
North
Since the end of the war in 1865, no more states tried to secede; the union did not perish, the northern victory has preserved it as a nation.
The northern politicians had pushed forth various laws to help African-Americans to advance in society.
After the war, many northerners supported the civil rights of African-Americans, enabling their participation in politics. For instance, Hiram Rhodes, an African-American from Mississippi, took over Jefferson Davis seat.
South
In every state, African Americans formed the overwhelming majority of Southern Republican voters.
From the beginning of Reconstruction, Black conventions and newspapers throughout the South had called for the extension of full civil and political rights to African Americans.
Reconstruction governments established the South’s first state-funded public school systems, sought to strengthen the bargaining power of plantation labourers, made taxation more equitable, and outlawed racial discrimination in public transportation and accommodations.
After the war, many African-Americans started to be involved in politics.
