Reconstruction era - By Jaylene Jin Wen Zuzu Ethan Francis...

The first covers the complete history of the entire country from
1865 to 1877 following the American Civil War (1861 to
1865) ; the second sense focuses on the attempted
transformation of the Southern United States from 1863
to 1877 , as directed by Congress, with the reconstruction of
state and society.
Three visions of Civil War memory appeared during
Reconstruction: the reconciliationist vision, which was rooted in
coping with the death and devastation the war had brought;
the white supremacist vision, which included terror and
violence; and the emancipationist vision, which sought full
freedom, citizenship and Constitutional equality for African
Americans.
