U.s. History: Reconstruction

Curated by ACT

A very good overview of Reconstruction in the South after the Civil War. Find the questions that needed to be answered about how to reincorporate the Confederate states, what rights freed blacks would have, and how terms of reconstruction could be enforced. Read about Presidential Reconstruction, and how those plans changed with the election of Radical Republicans. See how the Southern opposition to Reconstruction played out.
