Reconstruction Timeline and Amendments
The Reconstruction era (1865–1877) was a critical period in American history, marked by efforts to rebuild the South and ensure rights for formerly enslaved people. Key legislation includes the 13th Amendment (abolishing slavery), the 14th Amendment (granting citizenship and equal protection), and the 15th Amendment (voting rights for all male citizens regardless of race). Understanding the sequence and impact of these laws helps us appreciate their role in shaping modern America.
