Book Overview
On January 1, 1863, President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation and changed the course of history. More than two years later, the end of the Civil War and the passing of the Thirteenth Amendment ushered in an era of dramatic change known as Reconstruction. Freed African Americans reunited with lost family members, set up churches and schools, received wages for their work, and voted for the first time. They made these achievements while dealing with continued racism and hatred; corrupt laws restricting newly won freedoms, and the growth of new organizations like the Ku Klux Klan. Despite these many hardships, the African American men, women, and children of Reconstruction set in motion the long struggle for equal rights due to all citizens of the United States, regardless of race.
