What were the immediate and
long-term effects of Reconstruction?
When the Civil War ended, the North and the
South faced the challenge of how to reunite.
The modern South was shaped by political
decisions made during the decades after the
war, and constitutional amendments passed
during that time redefined American citizenship.
