In this updated edition of Reconstruction, Eric Foner redefines how the post-Civil War period was viewed. Reconstruction chronicles the way in which Americans—black and white—responded to the unprecedented changes unleashed by the war and the end of slavery. It addresses the quest of emancipated slaves’ searching for economic autonomy and equal citizenship, and describes the remodeling of Southern society; the evolution of racial attitudes and patterns of race relations; and the emergence of a national state possessing vastly expanded authority and one committed, for a time, to the principle of equal rights for all Americans. This “masterful treatment of one of the most complex periods of American history” (New Republic) remains the standard work on the wrenching post-Civil War period—an era whose legacy still reverberates in the United States today.

Slave Masters
- This is perhaps the best read audiobook I've ever listened to. And by far. When it was over, I never stopped for a minute to realize that the reader and the author were actually two different people. That is a hard trick to pull off my friend. And when that is the case, you absorb every last detail. I felt like I learned more about slavery, its aftermath and moving parts from this audiobook than I could have recalled from 30 plus years of bad history books, teachers, and internet sites. Well done, author Eric Foner and reader Paul Heitsch! Their mastery of the subject matter was astonishing.
