No it pretty much never was seen through in the way it was intended.
look at maps showing slave and free states then look at the most recent presidential elections by state.
(bet you can't guess what color the former slave states are now!)
think about it this way: i can trace back to my grandparents and their parents etc and see how they had rights and were successful and had opportunity; this has greatly improved my chances of leading a successful life. that my grandparents went to college increased the chance that i would go to college, through legacy and historical traditions.
this is an example of the past being positive and having present day positive effects. why would negative effects be any different in how they act on future generations? the legacy of slavery still exists and is a large part of why blacks are still not as well off as whites etc.
Brand X what are you talking about? after reconstruction there was the beginning of Jim Crow laws, civil rights did not really happen until the nineteen sixties!

It depends on what the objective was.
It didn't do a very good job of assimilating the former slaves into society.
It didn't make the South happy to be part of the Union again.
It did punish the rebellion enough that it's taken almost 150 years for another state (Vermont) to talk about Secession.
It's just hard to say how successful it was without knowing the purpose you're measuring.

1. too repetitive nowadays, and even though I answer one of them every once in a while, all the non hip hop questions are annoying. on a scale of 1-10...6. The people that ask the best questions are rarely on nowadays... 2. Yea...I could understand one every once in a while, but there's like 10 or 15 everyday...and they're usually from the same people Yes I would There is too much concentration...I don't think I've ever started one of my questions with "RHH Regs"...a few of the regs opinions, frankly, don't even matter to me. If you love the genre, then that should be more than enough. I think all the hating on Lil Wayne should really stop...there's a few people that go out of their way just to hate on the dude...every chance they get they're taking shots at him. I'm not gonna call anybody out, but the ish is annoying...I could understand the random hater that comes onto Y!A, but all the "regs" that think they're above and beyond while hating on Lil Wayne are just as pathetic. oh yeah, and no more bandwagonning. i have one particular person in mind that has everybody's nuts in their mouth. edit: nah it's not you...funny thing is he prolly don't even know it =D Much Love xxx

It was relatively successful to ensure the Blacks got civil rights. When the feds left in 1876 in exchange for Hayes winning the election, that was the end of civil rights for Blacks for nearly 100 years.
