The end of the American Civil War is not the end of the conflict between Northern states and Southern states. The battlefield shooting is over, but the political arguments over civil rights go on, sometimes with new violence between whites and black citizens. It is a confusing and dark time as Americans try to put their broken nation back together. The lessons learned (and missed) in the Reconstruction Era will affect American history for another 100 years. This colorful graphic novel will excite reluctant readers, prepare students for standardized tests in history and help homeschooling parents!
