Advanced American History


After the surrender at Appomattox and the assassination of Lincoln, tremendous challenges face the fractured nation.  How will 4 million former slaves be assimilated into American society?  How does the nation move forward?  Should the south be punished?  What will their economy look like? 

The period of Reconstruction sought to answer these and other questions.  Some were answered, while we, yet today, are still feeling the legacy of this era.

Assignment:  Answer questions based on a review of the PBS Reconstruction website (click link below).
