RECONSTRUCTION

The Reconstruction Era followed the Civil War, marked by significant political and social changes in the United States. Under President Andrew Johnson, the Black Codes were enacted, and key constitutional amendments were passed: the 13th (1865), the 14th (1866), and the 15th (1870). The Military Reconstruction Act of 1867 reshaped the South, while the Tenure of Office Act and Johnson's impeachment highlighted political tensions. The rise of the Ku Klux Klan and economic upheavals such as the Panic of 1873 further complicated the period, culminating in the contentious election of 1876.
