The Reconstruction implemented by Congress, which lasted from 1866 to 1877, was aimed at reorganizing the Southern states so that the newly freed slaves would have rights of citizenship; government would no longer be led by the confederacy and other community needs. This had mixed success; most states were readmitted to the union but by 1890 many had reenacted laws (Jim Crow) and elected people in favor of segregation. Not until the 1960s was there much change.
