Description: |
Covering a time of great hope and incredible change,
Reconstruction and Reform is a dramatic look at life after
the Civil War in the newly re-United States. Railroad tycoons
were roaring across the country. New cities sprang up across the
plains, and a new and different American West came into being: a
land of farmers, ranchers, miners, and city dwellers. Back East,
large-scale immigration was also going on, but not all Americans
wanted newcomers in the country. Technology moved forward: Thomas
Edison lit up the world with his electric light. And social
justice was on everyone's mind with Carry Nation wielding a
hatchet in her battle against drunkenness and Booker T.
Washington and W. E. B. DuBois counseling newly freed African
Americans to behave in very different ways. Through it all, the
reunited nation struggles to keep the promises of freedom in this
exciting chapter in the A History of US.
