Second reconstruction is the term, coined by historian C. Vann Woodward, who refers to the emergence and widening of new mass movements in favor of civil rights for African Americans and the complete abolition of racial segregation in United States immediately after the end of World War II. The nature of the term goes to indicate the similarities that the post-1945 period had with the era of Reconstruction that took place after the Secession War, where African Americans came back to claim political and civil rights by obtaining important results. Unlike the nineteenth century, where the vast majority of black Americans adhered to the Republican Party, there was a radical change in bipartisan ideals where the Democratic Party played a key role in recognizing the African American's social position over the past, asserting strong political support on the part of black communities and, subsequently, foreigners in general. On the contrary, the Southern States, since the 1877s (the end of the era of Reconstruction) until the 1960s (full exercise of the civil rights movement) had become a stronghold in the political elections, progressively changed the political trend with the opening of the Party Democrats, preferring to him the "sudista" line that was instead adopting the Republican Party to protect American White Workers.
