Learn about a pivotal time in American history and its momentous effects on civil rights in America. Reconstruction, the period after the Civil War, was meant to give newly freed Black people the same rights as white people. But what went wrong? Indeed, there were monumental changes once slavery ended, like thriving new Black communities, the first Black members in Congress, and a new sense of dignity for many Black Americans. But this time of hope didn’t last long and instead, a deeply segregated United States continued on for another hundred years. Find out happened in this overview of a troubled time. 112 pages, softcover. Ages 8 – 12.
