During Reconstruction, African Americans made significant strides toward gaining full civil rights, highlighted by the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, which abolished slavery, granted citizenship, and protected voting rights, respectively. However, these gains were met with fierce resistance, leading to the implementation of Black Codes and Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation and disenfranchisement. By the end of Reconstruction in 1877, federal support for civil rights weakened, allowing systemic racism to reassert itself and stalling true equality for decades. Thus, while progress was made, full civil rights remained elusive for African Americans during this period.
