The document discusses the Reconstruction period in the United States following the Civil War from 1863 to 1887. During this time, the government grappled with how to reunite the northern and southern states and address the end of slavery. This led to the passage of amendments providing citizenship and voting rights to Black Americans, though the South resisted through the creation of "Black Codes" and Jim Crow laws enforcing racial segregation and discrimination. The Civil Rights movement from the 1950s to 1960s sought to end these discriminatory practices through nonviolent protests and resulted in landmark legislation banning racial segregation and discrimination.American history timeline
