Covering a time of great hope and incredible change, Reconstruction and Reform is a dramatic look at life after the Civil War in the newly re United States. Railroad tycoons were roaring across the country. New cities sprang up across the plains, and a new and different American West came into

Technology moved forward: Thomas Edison lit up the world with his electric light. And social justice was on everyone's mind with
