  1. reconstruction period

    The Reconstruction Period refers to a significant era in the United States history from 1865 to 1877 following the American Civil War, during which attempts were made to redress the inequities of slavery and its political, social, and economic legacy and to solve the problems arising from the arrival of millions of newly freed African-Americans. It involved rebuilding the devastated southern economy, as well as enforcing the newly established civil rights of former slaves and integrating them into the American society. The Reconstruction era ended with the Compromise of 1877 that led to the withdrawal of federal troops from the South.
