By the end of the Reconstruction era in 1877, African-Americans faced a significant regression in their civil rights and social status. Despite initial gains such as voting rights and the establishment of schools, the withdrawal of federal troops from the South led to the resurgence of white supremacy, exemplified by the rise of groups like the Ku Klux Klan. Jim Crow laws were enacted, enforcing racial segregation and disenfranchising many African-Americans, effectively reversing the progress made during Reconstruction and entrenching systemic racism for decades to come.

Some key laws passed during the Reconstruction Era that benefited African Americans include the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which granted citizenship and equal rights under the law, and the 14th Amendment, which granted equal protection of the laws and due process to all citizens. The Reconstruction Acts of 1867 also helped protect the rights of African Americans by dividing the South into military districts and enforcing requirements for readmission to the Union.
