This lesson explores the Reconstruction era following the Civil War, focusing on the challenges of rebuilding the South. Students will learn about key figures such as Lincoln and Thaddeus Stevens and the differing approaches to reconstruction. We will examine the effects of the war on society, particularly for African Americans, and the political landscape of the North and South. Additionally, we’ll connect current events, like flooding and the decline of USPS, to historical themes of rebuilding and supporting causes.
