The consequences of Reconstruction included significant, albeit temporary, advancements in civil rights for African Americans, such as the establishment of the Freedmen's Bureau and the passage of the 14th and 15th Amendments, granting citizenship and voting rights. However, the era also saw the emergence of Jim Crow laws and systemic racism, leading to widespread disenfranchisement and segregation. Ultimately, Reconstruction ended with the Compromise of 1877, resulting in the withdrawal of federal troops from the South and the restoration of white supremacy in Southern states. This set the stage for nearly a century of racial discrimination and inequality.
