Before Reconstruction, the United States experienced the Civil War (1861-1865), a conflict primarily over issues of slavery and states' rights. The war resulted in the defeat of the Confederacy and the abolition of slavery through the 13th Amendment. Following the war, the nation faced immense challenges in reintegrating the Southern states, addressing the rights of formerly enslaved people, and rebuilding a war-torn economy. The period set the stage for significant social and political changes, as well as deep-seated tensions that would continue to affect American society.
