Reconstruction

This overview of the Reconstruction Era highlights the pivotal 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments which abolished slavery, granted citizenship, and secured voting rights for African American men. It emphasizes Abraham Lincoln's vision for reconciliation over punishment, as supported by figures like Robert E. Lee, who encouraged unity post-war. Frederick Douglass played a vital role in advocating for civil rights through constitutional amendments. The period culminated in the contentious election of 1876, marking the end of Reconstruction and the struggles for racial equality in America.
