Publisher's Summary

Are you curious to learn what happened after the US Civil War? Then dive into the captivating history of the Reconstruction Era!

The US Civil War brought about a lot of change. The nation not only had to figure out how to become united once again, but it also had to figure out how to integrate the newly freed slaves into society. In addition, the country had to figure out how to recover from the war, which devastated the South and took many lives on both sides. 

In this audiobook, you will learn about the significant players and laws. You will hear about the carpetbaggers and scallywags who tried to make things better for Blacks in the South while also seeking their own fortune. And perhaps most importantly, you will discover what happened to the freed slaves and how they found themselves living in a nation that promoted “separate but equal” legislation.
