Summary: Reconstruction: A Very Short Introduction delves into the constitutional, political, and social issues behind Reconstruction to describe a historical moment that left an indelible mark on American social fabric. The Reconstruction era was one of the unhappiest times in American history. It succeeded in reuniting the nation politically after the Civil War, but it failed to chart a progressive course for race relations after the abolition of slavery and rise of Jim Crow, and struggled to successfully manage the Southern resistance towards a Northern, free-labor pattern. Despite this, there were some notable accomplishments: the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution and the election of the first African American representatives to the US Congress. https://academic.oup.com/book/28382
