Failure of Reconstruction
Reconstruction in the United States () aimed to reintegrate Southern states into the Union and address the status of newly freed African Americans. Key achievements included the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, which abolished slavery, granted citizenship, and secured voting rights for African American men. However, resistance from Southern whites led to discriminatory laws and the rise of white supremacist groups, ultimately failing to achieve lasting racial equality.
