NIEMAN DURING THE SUMMER AND FALL OF 1865, AS THE NEWLY CREATED Freedmen's Bureau commenced its operations, one of the chief concerns of its officials was providing freedmen with legal pro- tection. Antebellum southern state law had discriminated harshly against free blacks, and in the Civil War's aftermath functionaries of the provisional governments created in the rebel states by Presi- dents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson stood ready to apply this law to the freedmen. State officials' willingness to enforce discriminatory law, however, was not the only reason they posed a threat to blacks.

  • Proclamation 9567—Establishment of the Reconstruction Era National Monument January 12, 2017
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2017 Proclamation 9567—Establishment of the Reconstruction Era National Monument January 12, 2017 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The Reconstruction Era, a period spanning the early Civil War years until the start of Jim Crow racial segregation in the 1890s, was a time of significant transformation in the United States, as the Nation grappled with the challenge of integrating millions of newly freed African Americans into its social, political, and economic life. It was in many ways the Nation's Second Founding, as Americans abolished slavery and struggled earnestly, if not always successfully, to build a nation of free and equal citizens. During Reconstruction, Congress passed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth constitutional amendments that abolished slavery, guaranteed due process and equal protection under the law, and gave all males the ability to vote by prohibiting voter discrimination based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Ultimately, the unmet promises of Reconstruction led to the modern civil rights movement a century later. The Reconstruction Era began when the first United States soldiers arrived in slaveholding territories, and enslaved people on plantations and farms and in cities escaped from their owners and sought refuge with Union forces or in free states. This happened in November 1861 in the Sea Islands or "Lowcountry" of southeastern South Carolina, and Beaufort County in particular. Just seven months after the start of the Civil War, Admiral Samuel F. DuPont led a successful attack on Port Royal Sound and brought a swath of this South Carolina coast under Union control.
