If you are referring to the Reconstruction Era in America then it was a bit of both. They were free but they still had issues with the whites because the whites were not comfortable with them. They got mistreated but they were better off than before.
Some positive effects of the Reconstruction include uniting the country and blacks had the right to vote as well as be elected for political offices. Its negative effects, on the other hand, include the South being faced with economic turmoil.
Ku Klux Klan was formed to kill all the blacks.

Helped out blacks
1) Ku Klux Klan was formed. 2) Many Republicans, blacks, immigrants, white people that defended blacks, Roman Catholics and Jews were killed due to people in the KKK.
Both.
one way reconstruction was a failure is that the freedman bureau burn down the blacks school, meaning no freedom what so ever for the blacks.
The effects on black people during reconstruction were negative. Often the blacks did not have a home, a job, or a farm to feed their families. They were dependent upon the few people who were not prejudice to provide them opportunity. Many moved out west.
