About this listen

The Reconstruction and Rise of Jim Crow describes the fallout of the Civil War, whose aftermath left the United States South angry and poor. This book details the struggles to decide how to deal with the newly freed slaves, through the years of Reconstruction, Jim Crow, sharecropping, and segregation. The storyline also sets the stage for the country’s next battle, which is between the Jim Crow laws and the 14th and 15th Amendments.

True History

I liked that this is the truth vs the whitewashed history that was taught to us.

I Never Learned This In Public School !!!

This is a Vety Good Presentation of U
S. History that is rsrely if ever presented in any public dialog about U.S. History. Hearing this gives me a keen insight as to the mounting problems that the U.S.A. is facing. May be someday rhe TRUTH will be known to THE Many, and NOT to tjhe Few...!! THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE !!!!!

Systemic to our system!!!

Sometimes I wonder how my family did it during those horrible times. Now I wonder what my prodigy will say 100 years from today about this moment in history. It has been hell to have a sun tan in America since before we were Americans! Great information in this book....I have sent it to two others.

Fairly Accurate

Twas good, but narrator kept putting me to sleep. Suggestion: listen to this title @ 1.15-1.25 speed. He actually sounds like he's still breathing then, lol.

The Word Radical

I do not trust an author that thinks humanity or civil rights is radical

Pleasantly surprised

This is a fairly short read. Very informative in regards to what happened after the Civil War.
I learned in this book how reconstruction lead to Jim Crow laws.
The authors did a good job in telling an honest and unbiased perspective of this time in American history.

Informative

Great introduction, looking forward to understanding to digging into the topic some more. Fortunately we had so many willing to fight, and die, for freedom.

The missing piece!

If you remember learning about the z ibis War in school, then you know they taught us almost nothing about Reconstruction, just skipped over that and then skipped over the whole of Jim Crow era. This is the piece that was always missing in school textbooks.
