The Extended History of Reconstruction and its Contested Public Memory

This presentation by Education Department of America's Black Holocaust Museum (ABHM) will cover the immediate impact of the Civil War during the period known as Reconstruction. Learn more about the sociopolitical and legal history of the era and how the time period is interpreted at historic sites across the country, including ABHM's brick and mortar museum and their virtual museum. This presentation is perfect for anyone wanting a better understanding of the impact of the Civil War after the guns went silent. This presentation is part of the Milton House's Civil War Living History Days event and part of Northern Rock County's America 250 celebration.
