definition: Reconstruction is the term given to the period after the Civil War, from 1865 to 1877, when the U.S. government sought to reconstruct the lives and property of the people in the South. Africans who had served for 246 years in bondage came out of the enslavement with optimism. [Source: Encyclopedia of Black Studies; Reconstruction]
