The Ragged Road to Reconstruction: The Birth of Jim Crow

The American Civil War ended in 1865. The period that followed was going to be a time of reunification, reform, and physical rebuilding, but legislation was enacted to create a period of division, fear, and oppression. The immediate effects of reconstruction legislation and the birth of Jim Crow will be discussed during this presentation.  These are one-hour presentations at 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. Information: cha129@henrico.us
