"The conclusion of the Civil War marked the end of slavery and of the Confederacy, but also the beginning of the monumental challenges of how to readmit the southern states into the Union and how to ensure the liberty of over three million newly freed African Americans. This program examines the antebellum struggles of Congress to rebuild the south as an equal and free society by means of the Reconstruction Amendments. It also looks at social and economic opposition to the citizenship of former slaves, including such obstacles as the Ku Klux Klan, sharecropping and black segregation."--Container
