Prior to the end of Reconstruction in 1877, the United States was focused on integrating formerly enslaved people into society and rebuilding the South after the Civil War. Key legislative measures, such as the 14th and 15th Amendments, aimed to secure citizenship and voting rights for African Americans. However, increasing resistance from Southern states, the rise of white supremacist groups, and economic challenges led to the eventual withdrawal of federal troops from the South and the compromise that marked the end of Reconstruction. This shift allowed for the establishment of Jim Crow laws and systemic racial segregation.
