Who killed Reconstruction ?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Following the American Civil War, the Reconstruction era ran from 1865 to 1877. The nation struggled to determine how to handle African Americans lawfully. Moreover, how to reintegrate the seceded states into the Union.

Reconstruction terminated the Confederate states' remaining attempts at secession and abolished slavery throughout the South. The freshly emancipated slaves were declared to be citizens with the same civil rights as white people. Three new constitutional amendments—the 13th, 14th, and 15th—collectively known as the Reconstruction Amendments, were supposed to protect these rights.
