Prior to the end of Reconstruction in 1877, the United States underwent a significant transformation in the aftermath of the Civil War. This era was marked by efforts to integrate formerly enslaved African Americans into society, with measures such as the establishment of the Freedmen's Bureau and the passage of the 14th and 15th Amendments, which aimed to secure civil rights and voting rights for Black citizens. However, Reconstruction faced intense opposition, particularly from Southern whites and groups like the Ku Klux Klan, leading to widespread racial violence and the eventual compromise that ended federal intervention in the South. This withdrawal resulted in the establishment of Jim Crow laws and systemic discrimination that persisted for decades.
