I gained a lot of knowledge about the Battle of Gettysburg as well as the Reconstruction Era from this week’s topic. I was able to recall a lot of what I had previously learned, as well as learn about new things, due to the resources offered. The Reconstruction era redefined and enlarged U.S. citizenship, adjusted the relationship between the federal government and state governments, and highlighted the disparities between political and economic democracy. Amendments 13-15 are also known as the Reconstruction Amendments. They were the first to be enacted immediately following the Civil War, and they all addressed issues with the legal and political standing of African Americans. Living in New York City, I’ve seen several occurrences that violate the Amendments. An example of this is the death of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man who died after being beaten by five Memphis police officers during a traffic stop. Protests against police brutality continued in New York city. The protests were a part of a nationwide wave of demonstrations in the aftermath of Tyre Nichols’ death. Today we are uncomfortable admitting that although the Reconstruction amendments were passed to protect the rights of Africa Americans, The Reconstruction amendments have deliberately failed the United States.
