Once you have completed the readings and viewings for Module 2, please identify three of the most important characteristics of the Reconstruction Era. How do these characteristics connect to definitions of freedom at that time? How do these definitions of freedom compare to your own?
Next: the Redemption Era covers that latter part of the 19th Century. This is the era the Ku Klux Klan and other homegrown terrorist organizations emerge. These groups emerge in response to the creation of the first federal protection of civil rights.
