Post Civil War African American History: Brief Periods of Triumph, and Then Despair.
During Reconstruction, which is often called the most progressive period in American history, African Americans made great strides.

However, Reconstruction was followed by approximately one hundred years of Jim Crow laws, lynching, disenfranchisement, sharecropping, unequal educational resources, terrorism, racial caricatures, and convict leasing.
