Wednesday, March 3

Students received four handouts, one on the history of Reconstruction after the American Civil War and one on Birth of a Nation.

We will entertain two opposing views of Reconstruction. Today we began with the commie abolitionist line in the form of excerpts from a PBS documentary on the period. This will be followed by D.W. Griffith's authentic account in his famous film.

HW due Thursday:
Start reading the handouts; be sure to finish the first (Howard Zinn's account of Reconstruction) by Thursday.
