Explanation:

The Reconstruction Amendments are the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth amendments to the United States Constitution, legislated between 1865 and 1870, the five years directly supporting the Civil War. This collection of Amendments is seldom related to as the Civil War Amendments. The Amendments were proposed to restructure the United States from a country that was partly captive and half open to one in which the constitutionally assured advantages of privilege would be enlarged to the whole commonality, including the past captives and their descendants.
