plzz i need help on it

The Reconstruction Period, which lasted from 1865 to 1877, is the period after the Civil War, when the defeated Southern states were again incorporated into the United States and administered by the federal government, through the Union Army.  

After the assassination of Abraham Lincoln in 1865, Congress passed the Thirteen Amendment, granting all slaves citizenship.  This was not well received in the South, were racism was still a big issue.

After the withdrawal of the troops in 1877, there was still a great deal of bitterness in the southern states, which resulted in, among other things, the failure to accept that African Americans should have the same rights as the whites. This caused the Jim Crow Laws to be enacted, as well as the start of segregation, which lasted until 1964, when the Civil Rights Act was enacted.
