Reconstruction was a period in American history following the Civil War, aimed at rebuilding the South and integrating formerly enslaved individuals into society. It involved significant political, social, and economic changes, including the establishment of the Freedmen’s Bureau and the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, which aimed to secure rights for African Americans. However, it faced strong resistance from Southern whites, leading to the rise of discriminatory laws and groups like the Ku Klux Klan, ultimately resulting in the Compromise of 1877 and the end of Reconstruction. This period left a complex legacy of both progress and ongoing racial tensions in the United States.
