The period following the Civil War was known as Reconstruction, which lasted from 1865 to 1877. This era was marked by efforts to rebuild the South, integrate formerly enslaved people into society, and redefine the rights of citizenship. Reconstruction involved significant political, social, and economic changes, but faced resistance and ultimately ended with the withdrawal of federal troops from the South, leading to the establishment of Jim Crow laws.
