Reconstruction is called "Reconstruction" because it refers to the period following the American Civil War (1865-1877) when the United States aimed to rebuild and reorganize the Southern states that had seceded. This era involved significant political, social, and economic changes, including the integration of formerly enslaved people into society and the establishment of new laws and amendments to secure their rights. The term encapsulates the efforts to restore the Union and redefine the nation's identity in the aftermath of the war.

Radical Reconstruction was the name of one of the phases of reconstruction: the one instigated by a faction that called themselves the Radical Republicans.
