Building Knowledge Together
Emancipation Day – A sergeant presents an American flag to formerly enslaved people in South Carolina while others celebrate.
The Reconstruction era refers to the period after the Civil War when attempts were made to redress the inequities of slavery and its political, social, and economic legacy. The U.S. federal government also needed to determine how to readmit the 11 Confederate states back into the Union.
After the war, formerly enslaved African Americans responded to freedom in different ways. After celebrating the end of the war and their new freedom, most tried to reunite with their separated families. Some set up new institutions, including schools, while participating in politics by voting and even serving in government.
Building Knowledge Together
For about 10 years after the Civil War, the federal government provided services to the formerly enslaved and took steps under Military Reconstruction to protect their political and civil rights, but these advances were later overturned.
Thus far, we have learned about the 13th and 14th Amendment, which banned slavery in all of the United States and granted citizenship to anyone who was born in the U.S. Now let’s take a look at the 15th Amendment.
4) The 15th Amendment grants all citizens the right to vote, but leaves out one very important word. In other words, who can now vote and who still cannot vote at this point (1877) in U.S. History? Explain.

During the 1870s, more than a dozen African American men were elected to the U.S. Congress. This was historically significant because many of these Black politicians were born into slavery, but this period ended all too quickly.
To date, only 11 African Americans have served in the United States Senate. Hiram Revels of Mississippi was the first African American senator in 1870. Five years later, Blanche K. Bruce of Mississippi took the oath of office. It would be nearly another century, 1967, before Edward Brooke of Massachusetts followed in their historic footsteps.
