Explore the complex period of Reconstruction in American history through this 49-minute lecture from Yale University's course "American History: From Emancipation to the Present." Delve into the various plans proposed between 1865 and 1877 for readmitting Confederate states to the Union and granting full citizenship rights to their residents. Examine the Ten Percent Plan, Presidential Reconstruction, and Radical Reconstruction, understanding their different approaches to reuniting the nation. Learn how Reconstruction both expanded African Americans' rights and imposed new political, economic, and social constraints. Investigate key topics such as the establishment of Black Codes in 1865, the emergence of sharecropping as a new labor system, and the role of the Freedmen's Bureau.
