I believe the right answer is D.
Explanation: the reconstruction era in America was a period of time where America was being reconstructed and rebuilt following the destruction of the civil war. D is supposedly correct because blacks had to be given citizenship (which is stated in the fourteenth amendmen) after the civil war (which abolished slavery) and thus reconstruction began. New laws were being made and blacks were being given human rights (since slavery no longer exists)
