Are you curious to learn what happened after the US Civil War? Then dive into the captivating history of the Reconstruction Era!

The US Civil War brought about a lot of change. The nation not only had to figure out how to become united once again, but it also had to figure out how to integrate the newly freed slaves into society. In addition, the country had to figure out how to recover from the war, which devastated the South and took many lives on both sides.

In this audiobook, you will learn about the significant players and laws. You will hear about the carpetbaggers and scallywags who tried to make things better for Blacks in the South while also seeking their own fortune. And perhaps most importantly, you will discover what happened to the freed slaves and how they found themselves living in a nation that promoted “separate but equal” legislation.

Here is a tiny fraction of what you will discover in this audiobook:

An excellent recollection of the past.

Informs us greatly about the history of the United States after the Civil War.
However, there was not a lot of discussion about how this history has influenced the present and where we are to go from here. Overall a great read and I would highly to anyone looking to better understand the history of the United States, racism, and the efforts that either helped or hurt the people of the US. Makes u wonder how much has really changed since 1865...

from civil war to civil rights

while this book is intended to focus on the period of time, following the civil war, it was still necessary to cover preceding events leading up to that war. it was necessary to showcase all struggles n people involved, to better understand the post-war era.

they also break down the constitutional amendments passed during this time, and how they would affect others' lives in modern times

civil rights

I really enjoyed learning about this period in history. I knew practically nothing about this era. this was a very interesting book. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

good overview

After the Civil War congress tried to help former slaves. They were up against the president, courts and state governments. With this Audio you will feel their struggle and appreciate their effort.

I wish I had learned this stuff in school

Reading these histories really highlights how incomplete our American history curriculums have been at both the secondary and college levels. This book has great information, told in a compelling way.

Little information other than in an elementary school textbook

I was hoping for a deeper level of information. I h grew up in the South and Reconstruction was not a concentration subject. But it was covered, warts and all, better than this book.
