HIS 2250 - Reconstruction

Credits: 4
This course is focused on the moment in time when four million enslaved Black people became American citizens, and the aftermath of their emancipation. We will examine the policies of the Reconstruction Era and the ideals behind them, as well as the actions that brought about the end of Reconstruction. We will also look at what changes freedom brought to the Black community, their attempts at gaining equality, obtaining an education, creating their own communities, and the systematic repression of those efforts.
