Question

The assassination of abraham lincoln took place during which era? com

Answer 1

Abraham Lincoln's assassination took place during the Reconstruction era.

The period of Reconstruction were the years after the Civil War ended up until 1877. The goal of this period was to rebuild America after the Civil War. This included the Confederate states rejoining the Union. This time period was bound to have difficulties, as this war caused the lives of thousands of individuals from the North and South.

Lincoln knew this and was prepared to implement plans that he hoped would fix the nation. However, his assassination on April 14, 1865, resulted in a change of direction for the federal government in terms of Reconstruction policies.
