Birlikten ayrılmak isteyen Güney eyaletlerinin kurduğu Konfederasyon yenilmiştir. Yeniden Yapılanma Dönemi başlar. Kölelik yasaklanır.

Polis gücüne katılan siyahlar ve melezler beyazları taciz eder. Bunun üzerine asayişi sağlamak üzere "Klan" kurulur. Haçlı şövalyelerini andıran giysileriyle Ku-Klux-Klan üyeleri gecelerin hakimidir artık. Devletin sağlayamadığı adaleti onlar getirir. D.W.
