Description:

The problem of how to reconstruct the United States of America after the Union's defeat of the Confederacy and the abolition of slavery was the most daunting task ever undertaken in the history of American government. This course examines the political, economic, and cultural ideas, events, and programs involved in Reconstruction. It traces the dramatic events of an era of great struggle and hope, crisis and tragedy. Special attention will be paid to the South, the former "rebel" states of the Confederacy, whose social, economic, and political systems lay in ruins in 1865 (Spring '09)
