Description

Reconstruction - the period after the Civil War - was meant to give newly freed Black people the same rights as white people. And indeed there were monumental changes once slavery ended - 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 what went wrong in this fascinating overview of a troubled time.
