Overview
About This Collection
During the Reconstruction Era, Americans were faced with the challenge of rebuilding a society divided by slavery and the political upheaval of the Civil War. Teaching this history is essential to helping students understand citizenship and democracy in the United States today.
The collection includes multiple entry-points for exploring the Reconstruction Era with your students, including a new 3-week unit, videos, and an array of primary sources available in both English and Spanish.
