1864-1896

By: Christopher Collier, James Lincoln Collier

Narrated by: Jim Manchester

The Reconstruction and Rise of Jim Crow describes the fallout of the Civil War, whose aftermath left the United States South angry and poor. This book details the struggles to decide how to deal with the newly freed slaves, through the years of Reconstruction, Jim Crow, sharecropping, and segregation. The storyline also sets the stage for the country’s next battle, which is between the Jim Crow laws and the 14th and 15th Amendments.

True History

I liked that this is the truth vs the whitewashed history that was taught to us.

Should be required listening

Excellent even handed retelling of a very sad part of American history, so worth your time to educate yourself for today’s world.

Phenomenal!

Excellent and concise! I highly recommend this. The author picks the most salient history and gives it to use with clarity and power.

I Never Learned This In Public School !!!

This is a Vety Good Presentation of U
S. History that is rsrely if ever presented in any public dialog about U.S. History. Hearing this gives me a keen insight as to the mounting problems that the U.S.A. is facing. May be someday rhe TRUTH will be known to THE Many, and NOT to tjhe Few...!! THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE !!!!!

Systemic to our system!!!

Sometimes I wonder how my family did it during those horrible times. Now I wonder what my prodigy will say 100 years from today about this moment in history. It has been hell to have a sun tan in America since before we were Americans! Great information in this book....I have sent it to two others.
