Reconstruction: A Moment In The Sun

The end of the Civil War was not the end of hostilities between North and South. Years of fighting over how to reunite the divided country and what role millions of newly freed African Americans would play still lay ahead. Reconstruction: A Moment In The Sun depicts Tennessee's tumultuous Reconstruction era and its riveting tale of revenge, domestic terror, and broken promises.
