Reconstruction United Streaming Video - After the Civil War, President Johnson attempted to implement President Lincoln's plans for Reconstruction, but Congress took over the process of reconstructing the South. The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution freed the slaves, gave them citizenship, and guaranteed the right to vote regardless of race. Such advances met with opposition from groups such as Southern white supremacists, and economic progress in the South was undermined by Northern opportunism.  Must have United Streaming login information to access video.

History Mystery - Reconstruction - Welcome to the game, potential junior professors. As you know, my job here at the History Mystery Museum is to try and ''reconstruct'' the past. That means studying photographs, documents, and objects to help gain a better understanding of a particular time or place in history. It’s been particularly interesting recently, as I've been ''reconstructing'' the Reconstruction. Can you guess my mystery subject?
