Description

In the tumultuous years after the Civil War (1863-77), America grappled with how to rebuild itself, how to successfully bring the South back into the Union and how to bring former slaves into the life of the country. Painter talks about planters and employers of former slaves, emancipation and black women, John Roy Lynch and The Facts of Reconstruction, political violence in the south, the mud sill of society, the exodus of 1879.
