Reconstruction

More about the book

Focusing on the Reconstruction era from 1865 to 1877, this book explores the challenges faced by a nation healing from Civil War wounds. It delves into critical issues such as citizenship, voting rights, and the balance of power between federal and state governments. Through an inquiry-based approach, middle schoolers engage with historical events and learn to address contemporary issues by designing solutions. Enhanced by graphic novel-style illustrations and primary sources, the narrative vividly illustrates the era's impact on both African Americans and whites.
