The Reconstruction Era in Illinois: Progress, Challenges, and the Rise of Industry

The Reconstruction Era marked a pivotal time in Illinois following the Civil War, impacting millions of newly freed slaves. Under President Johnson, Southern states enacted stringent laws against African Americans while Republican-led policies began in 1867, ensuring voting rights for Black citizens.
