    Learn about a pivotal time in American history and its momentous effects on civil rights in America in this enlightening title about Reconstruction.  

    Learn facts such as:
    Reconstruction happened after the Civil War, when Southern states rejoined the USA
    Laws known as “black codes” unfairly prevented African Americans from voting, traveling, and more
    In 1870, Hiram Revels became the first African American US senator


    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.
