1 lessonThe crisis over slavery in the 1850s pushed the United States toward secession, civil war, and a hard fight over what freedom would mean. This course follows that breakdown and its aftermath through war aims, emancipation, military turning points, constitutional change, and Reconstruction’s collapse. It is built for beginners who want a clear, historically grounded account of the era and the legal and political legacy it left behind.
Sectional conflict, secession, Fort Sumter, emancipation, Black military service, major campaigns, total war, the 13th through 15th Amendments, and the forces that destroyed Reconstruction are all covered here. The course also connects those events to the struggle over citizenship and civil rights in the United States.
