影片内容介绍
剧情简介
Spanning the years from 1863 to 1877, this dramatic mini-series recounts the tumultuous post-Civil War years. America was grappling with rebuilding itself, with bringing the South back into the Union, and with how best to offer citizenship to former slaves. Stories of key political players in Washington are interwoven with those of ordinary people caught up in the turbulent social and political struggles of Reconstruction.

分集介绍
Revolution
In the chaos following the Civil War, former slaves move to take control of their lives, setting up their own communities, churches, and schools. Southern whites, deeply threatened, resist—often violently. Congress finally acts to stem the violence and safeguard blacks’ rights by passing Radical Reconstruction, imposing military rule on the South and giving African- American men the vote.

Retreat
As white resistance to Radical Reconstruction flares into violence across the South, the national commitment to Reconstruction wanes, and a white Southern view of the “lost cause” begins to capture the Northern imagination. By 1877, Reconstruction is over, but it has laid the groundwork for the great civil rights movement of the 1950s and ’60s.
