The document provides an overview of Reconstruction following the U.S. Civil War, including its goals and impacts. It discusses the aims of Reconstruction, the amendments that protected African American rights, and how freed slaves were assisted through agencies like the Freedmen's Bureau. However, white southerners resisted these changes through violent groups like the Ku Klux Klan and discriminatory "Black Codes" and poll taxes that stripped black Americans of their newfound rights and opportunities. Reconstruction ultimately ended in 1877 when federal troops withdrew from the South.
