After Reconstruction ended in 1877, federal troops withdrew from the South, leading to the rise of Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation and disenfranchised African Americans. White supremacist groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, gained power and used violence and intimidation to maintain white dominance. This period marked a regression in civil rights for Black Americans, resulting in systemic inequality that persisted for decades. The political and social landscape in the South shifted toward a more oppressive environment for African Americans, setting the stage for the Civil Rights Movement in the mid-20th century.
