The Reconstruction Era (1865-1877) aimed to rebuild the United States after the Civil War, particularly addressing the integration of formerly enslaved people into society and the reintegration of Southern states. While it achieved some significant legislative milestones, such as the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, which granted freedoms and rights to African Americans, the era ultimately fell short of fully reconstructing the nation. Systemic racism and the rise of Jim Crow laws in the South undermined these gains, leading to a legacy of inequality that persisted long after Reconstruction ended. Thus, while it made strides toward reconstruction, it left many issues unresolved, impacting the nation for generations.
The Reconstruction Era was the period of time that began after the US Civil War. The plans to reunite the USA were controversial and bitter.
The former states of the Confederacy had a huge negative view of the US's Reconstruction plans for the South. They believed that the US was getting "even" with them for the cause of the US Civil War.Wherever possible, Southerners evaded laws and regulations of the Reconstruction Era.

Congress passed a tax on cotton after the US Civil War to help make the South pay for the Union's cost of the war. This Reconstruction Era tax added to the poor economy of the South
The end of the US's Reconstruction Era saw the Federal government retreat from taking an interest in Southern affairs. This resulted in the white Southern leaders reestablishing the white political power structure.
