I highly recommend The American Experience series to my students. Most all of them are excellent. This documentary rises to that level. It provides an in-depth description of this time period that is little known or inaccurately presented. Critical thinkers will be able to understand and apply the implications of this historical period to contemporary issues.

I first saw this story on PBS and appreciated and found parts somewhat interesting,this is why I decided to buy. I learned that Reconstruction was a long and important time in American history.This story could be defined as the earliest portion of American civil rights movement. The true story of the Twitchell family tragedies almost seem stolen from a western novel.
Helpled to understand the origin of Jim Crow

I will be teaching this period for the first time in the fall. This DVD is an excellent account of a sad period in our history. It covers many things that don't appear in your average history textbook. I'm going to share it with my students. Love it!
