Brief Explanations

The Reconstruction era (1865-1877) was defined by efforts to secure rights for formerly enslaved Black Americans, including the 13th, 14th, and 15th Constitutional Amendments, plus civil rights laws. The South did not become a major industrial center quickly then; there was significant tension between executive and legislative branches over Reconstruction policies; and Southern state governments during this period were often marked by conflict, not focused on ending corruption to enforce plans.
