Question

Although Reconstruction did make initial progress such as the ratification of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments and the establishment of the Freedmen's Bureau, it ultimately failed to provide lasting improvements for blacks in the face of continued discrimination and violence from white supremacists. This period also saw the rise of the Jim Crow laws and the solidification of segregation in the South. The establishment of southern state governments dominated by northerners until the 20th century was a feature of Reconstruction, but it cannot be considered the primary measure of success. The end of segregation in both the North and South and the adoption of legislation guaranteeing civil rights were not achieved until much later in American history.
