Overview

Written for the high school students, this resource presents an almanac of the events, issues, and political activities of the time. Among the chapter topics are the end of the Civil War, the joy and confusion that followed the end of slavery, the radical Republicans, the Reconstruction governments, white supremacists, and the era's mixed legacy. Each chapter includes boxes with biographies or vignettes, lists of vocabulary, and b&w plates of photos and prints. A time line and glossary are included. This volume is part of a three- volume set, the Reconstruction Era Reference Library (though the three volumes are sold separately); the other two volumes contain biographies and primary sources.
