Here are the video clips which I sent to the students.
Below are a series of video clips which will help you understand the period and the class. The first is of James Earl Jones doing a speech by Frederick Douglass; the second of the John Brown Raid; the third a re-enactiment of Thad Stevens. The last four are from an excellent documentary on Reconstruction, its democratic promise and eventual betrayal.
