The document discusses the Reconstruction Era and the establishment of segregation in the United States after the Civil War. It describes how Black Codes were implemented after the Civil War to restrict the rights of African Americans, despite the 13th and 15th Amendments guaranteeing freedom and right to vote. It also explains how the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision established the "separate but equal" doctrine allowing racial segregation under Jim Crow laws, though facilities for black Americans were inferior.

3.  Inrtroduction
The Reconstruction Era saw the advent of new freedom
for African Americans, but the period ended with the
establishment of Jim Crow laws in the South.
It’s a history phenomenon in United States after civil war
reconstruction allowed the cessation of slavery in
thesouthern United States and
allowed the réconsiliationnorthern and southern United
States. It allowed blacks to betreated the same way
as whites. However there are inequalities of law

4. Even after the Emancipation Proclamation, two more years
of war, service by African American troops, and the
defeat of the Confederacy, the nation was still
unprepared to deal with the question of full citizenship
for its newly freed black population. The Reconstruction
implemented by Congress, which lasted from 1866 to
1877, was aimed at reorganizing the Southern states
after the Civil War, providing the means for readmitting
them into the Union, and defining the means by which
whites and blacks could live together in a nonslave
society. The South, however, saw Reconstruction as a
humiliating, even vengeful imposition and did not welcome
it.

5. Article XV. We forbid slaves from carrying any offensive
weapons or large sticks, at the risk of being whipped and
having the weapons confiscated. The weapons shall then
belong to he who confiscated them. The sole exception
shall be made for those who have been sent by their
masters to hunt and who are carrying either a letter
from their masters or his known mark.

6. When Congress took over Reconstruction after the Civil War, they passed
the Fifteenth Amendment to guarantee voting rights for African
Americans. In addition to achieving social justice, Republicans in
Congress hoped to solidify their power base in the South--they naturally
believed that former slaves would vote for the Republican party, the
party of Abraham Lincoln.
White Southerners eventually found ways to circumvent the amendment,
for instance, by imposing poll taxes on would-be voters. Congress passed
the Fifteenth Amendment in 1869, and the states followed in 1870. The
text of the amendment follows:
Section 1.
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color,
or previous condition of servitude.
Section 2.
The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate
legislation.

7. Racial segregation is the separation of humans into racial
group in daily life. It may apply to activities such as
eating in a restaurant, drinking from a water fountain,
using a public toilet, attending school, going to the
movies, or in the rental or purchase of a home.
The late 19th and early 20th centuries witnessed the rise
of Jim Crow laws in the South and de facto segregation
in the North. Explore the major themes and events of
this period in African-American history.

8. Jim Crow laws, or Jim Crow for short, maintained racial
segregation in the South beginning in the late 1800s.
Under Jim Crow, whites and blacks drank from different
water fountains, used different bathrooms and sat
separately on public transportation and in restaurants.
Jim Crow owes its name to a 19th century minstrel song
called “Jump Jim Crow,” popularized by a minstrel
performer named Thomas “Daddy” Rice who appeared in
blackface

9. Amendments of the Constitution." The Plessy decision set the
precedent that "separate" facilities for blacks and whites
were constitutional as long as they were "equal." The
"separate but equal" doctrine was quickly extended to cover
many areas of public life, such as restaurants, theaters,
restrooms, and public schools. The doctrine was a fiction, as
facilities for blacks were always inferior to those for
whites. Not until 1954, in the equally important Brown v.
Board of Education of Topeka, would the "separate but
equal" doctrine be struck down.
