The nadir, a period following the Reconstruction era marked by the rise of Jim Crow laws and systemic racism, had devastating effects on freed people. Many African Americans faced increased violence, disenfranchisement, and segregation, which severely limited their social, economic, and political opportunities. Sharecropping often replaced slavery, trapping many in cycles of poverty and debt. The nadir entrenched racial inequality, undermining the advancements made during Reconstruction and leading to long-lasting impacts on African American communities.
