African American Responses to Freedom: Land Reforms, Labor Systems, and the Rise of the KKK

This lesson explores the African American response to freedom post-Civil War, focusing on the impact of land reforms, sharecropping, and the contract system.

Additionally, the lesson discusses the development of the Ku Klux Klan and its connections to the Democratic Party. Students will engage with pages 540-544 and illustrate either Freedmen’s Schools or the sharecropping system for a deeper understanding of these historical themes.
