Description

One of the most misunderstood periods in American history, Reconstruction remains relevant today because its central issue — the role of the federal government in protecting citizens’ rights and promoting economic and racial justice in a heterogeneous society — is still unresolved. The united states’s Reconstruction examines the origins of this an important time, explores how black and white Southerners responded to the abolition of slavery, traces the political disputes between Congress and President Andrew Johnson, and analyzes the policies of the Reconstruction governments and the reasons for their demise.
America’s Reconstruction used to be published together with a major exhibition on the era produced by the Valentine Museum in Richmond, Virginia, and the Virginia Historical Society. The exhibit included a remarkable collection of engravings from Harper’s Weekly, lithographs, and political cartoons, in addition to objects such as sculptures, rifles, flags, quilts, and other artifacts. Crucial tool for deepening the experience of those who visited the exhibit, The united states’s Reconstruction also makes this wealthy assemblage of information and period art to be had to the wider audience of people unable to see the exhibit in its host cities. A work that stands along in addition to in proud accompaniment to the temporary collection, it’ll appeal to general readers and lend a hand instructors of both new and seasoned students of the Civil War and its tumultuous aftermath.
