The Reconstruction Era: Key Amendments, Racial Tensions, and Native American Resistance

The Reconstruction Era (1865-1877) was marked by significant constitutional amendments aimed at integrating formerly enslaved individuals into American society. The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments outlawed slavery, conferred citizenship, and secured voting rights irrespective of race. Despite these advancements, racism persisted, leading to the imposition of Jim Crow laws and voter suppression tactics. Concurrently, Native Americans faced violence and uprisings, exemplified by events like the Sioux Uprising and Wounded Knee. This period was crucial in shaping modern America's social and political landscape.
