Chapter 19: Reconstruction Era
### Chapter 19: Reconstruction Era
The Reconstruction era (1865-1877) aimed to rebuild the South and integrate freed slaves into society. The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments abolished slavery, granted citizenship, and secured voting rights for African Americans. Despite significant progress, the era faced resistance and violence from groups like the Ku Klux Klan. Reconstruction's end saw the rise of Jim Crow laws, enforcing racial segregation and disenfranchisement, but it laid the groundwork for future civil rights movements.

How America became Great | Part 18
### Chapter 18: War's End The Civil War concluded in 1865 with General Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House. The Union's victory preserved the United States and ended slavery. The assassination of President Lincoln shortly thereafter shocked the nation, but his vision for a united country endured. The war's end ushered in the Reconstruction era, a challenging period of rebuilding and integrating the Southern states back into the Union.

Flags flew freely in the summer breeze. They consisted of a gray and white human brain against a black background. Scales of gold sat just overtop the image of the organ. The sun rose at just the zenith and shared its light and warmth with the attendees to one of the country-states’ greatest accomplishments: the graduation of two women who had been in a halfway house and found their passions for art design and communications. Mala and Sheltham looked on with sunglasses and cheered the graduates. With the knowledge they had months to go before being up on that stage, they looked at each other and grinned. After the ceremony, they walked into a pizza restaurant that fit their budgets.
