    The Civil Rights Movement, which originally began its strife for civil rights for African Americans after the Reconstruction in the 19th century, saw the peak of its efforts realized during the 20th century, the 1950s and especially the 1960s, with the effects caused by the rallies and multiple efforts performed by both white and black supporters for the installation of equal rights and the ending of segregation. It is to be noted that before the 20th century, and even after the Civil War, in which slavery was abolished, segregation set in in full force and those slaves who were freed were denied their basic rights, including the right to vote, with a series of arguments that established supposed inferiority due to race on the part of African Americans, by whites. During the 1960's and up until the 70's, however, the movement strengthened its efforts and it became so effective, that it achieved its political, social and economic goals through the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which also led to the institution of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 and then the Fair Housing Act of 1968.
