SubjectHistory

This learning resource explores the collapse of Reconstruction in the United States and the subsequent rise in violence aimed at undermining African American political participation. It highlights the significance of federal troop withdrawal in 1877, which allowed white supremacist groups like the KKK to employ intimidation tactics against Black citizens. Key vocabulary, including terms like voter intimidation, lynching, and Black Codes, is defined and contextualized. The resource includes guided and independent practice activities, encouraging students to analyze primary sources, engage in reflective writing, and understand the cause-and-effect relationships of events following Reconstruction. Ultimately, it examines the legacy of this violent period and its relevance to contemporary discussions about voting rights.
