Voices from the Reconstruction Years, 1865-1877
VOICES FROM THE RECONSTRUCTION YEARS, 1865-1877 is a collection of twenty-seven first-hand accounts from those who lived through this turbulent period in American history.

The Army and Reconstruction, 1865-1877
Within two months of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House on 9 April 1865, the Confederacy had collapsed, and its armed forces had ceased to exist. In the spring of 1865, the U.S. Army faced the unprecedented task of occupying eleven conquered Southern states and administering "Reconstruction"-the process by which the former rebellious states would be restored to the Union.

With minimal emphasis on the Ku Klux Klan and carpet-baggers, legislation and fraud, this book focuses on the politics of the North and West.
Reconstruction Era
Reconstruction EraThe American Civil War, fought from 1861 to 1865, produced casualties and destruction on an unprecedented scale. Up to 800,000 soldiers were killed, and huge swathes of the American south were devastated. However, although the defeat of the Confederate States and the end of the war brought peace of a sort, it left many unresolved issues. The period following the end of the Civil War has become known as the Reconstruction Era, and during this time there were efforts to achieve two separate goals: to reintegrate the former rebel southern states fully into the Union and to achieve not only the abolition of slavery-which had been a war aim for the north-but also the emancipatio...
