The most important event was obviously the American Civil War from 1861-1865. This led to the 14th Amendment which defined a citizen as "any person born or naturalized in the US." The 13th Amendment abolished slavery, and the 15th Amendment prohibits denying the right to vote to someone because of their race.
Other key events include the Louisiana Purchase, the Texas Revolution, The Spanish-American War, the War of 1812, the purchase of Alaska, the Mexican Cession, the Indian Wars, and the California Gold Rush.
Like I said, the right to vote was extended to all male citizens by the 15th Amendment. Women were not given the right to vote until the 19th Amendment was passed in 1920.
I believe that a society can function in a state of anarchy only as long as all of the citizens residing in that state care for the public welfare as much as they care for their personal welfare. A society in which there is no structure cannot stand however a society with structure not upheld by a government can stand as long as all of the citizens residing inside of the society uphold it themselves. It must be a utopian society in which the golden rule is the law and no one violates it and remains in the community. For a society without structure will collapse.
