During the Reconstruction era (1865-1877), the United States faced significant social problems, including widespread racism and violence against African Americans, particularly from groups like the Ku Klux Klan. Many Southern whites resisted the changes brought by emancipation and sought to maintain white supremacy through intimidation and discriminatory laws, such as Black Codes. Additionally, there were deep economic challenges, as the South struggled to rebuild its economy, leading to widespread poverty and social unrest among both freedmen and impoverished whites. The period was marked by intense conflict over civil rights and the integration of formerly enslaved people into society.
