Reconstruction Events

The period after Appomattox: emancipation and its aftermath, United States Colored Troops veterans and the communities they built, Freedmen's Bureau records, and the political settlement of the Reconstruction South. Most of these are ranger programs and lectures at the parks and historic sites that interpret them.
