During the Reconstruction era following the American Civil War, the treatment of people, particularly African Americans, varied significantly. The period saw the establishment of new rights for formerly enslaved individuals, including the right to vote and access to education, supported by the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. However, resistance from white supremacist groups and the eventual withdrawal of federal troops in 1877 led to the rise of Jim Crow laws, which institutionalized racial segregation and disenfranchised many African Americans, undermining the democratic ideals of the era. Overall, while Reconstruction aimed to promote equality and inclusion, the reality often fell short due to systemic racism and violence.
