Long Description A deep dive into the period after the Civil War, when the country struggled to both heal and find a way forward. An essential read for students ages 12 to 15 in todays cultural climate. After the Civil War, Americans struggled to repair the divided nation. How does a country rebuild the infrastructure, government, and economy of a huge region while taking steps to resolve the status of 4 million newly freed slaves? In Reconstruction: The Rebuilding of the United States After the Civil War , middle schoolers examine the era from 1865 to 1877, a time when the United States wrestled with questions that still plague the country today: Who should have access to citizenship and voting rights? How should the power of the federal government be balanced against the rights of the states? What is the proper government response to white supremacy? Readers use an inquiry-based approach to explore how political, economic, and social problems were handled during Reconstruction. Along the way, they design models for combating similar twenty-first-century problems, using critical and creative thinking skills. Graphic novel-style illustrations, amazing historical photography, and primary sources bring the past to life and illustrate how Reconstruction affected both blacks and whites. Title is available in paperback, hardcover, and ebook formats. What happened after the end of the Civil War and Abraham Lincolns death? Reconstruction: The Rebuilding of the United States After the Civil War examines these questions while studying the similarities and differences between then and now. Reconstruction was a period of intense change in the United States, when the South struggled to rebuild both its infrastructure and its populace while integrating more than 4 billion newly freed slaves into daily life. Through critical thinking exercises, essential questions, and links to online resources, readers ages 12 to 15 discover a world that might seem centuries away but still has lessons to offer.

Immigration Nation looks at procedures and varied views on U.S. immigration today, as well as personal stories and statistics showing changes over time. Well organized information and practical help for students researching significant social issues." School Library Connections "For students or teachers looking for an entry into the controversial topic of immigration, this book broaches the subject through the lens of history and sociology, individual stories of immigrants, the laws of the United States, and arguments on both sides of the issue. The book opens with a timeline spanning 1607 to 2045, with 2045 pinpointing the year when non-Hispanic whites will no longer be the majority ethnic group in the United States. . . This is a very interactive source on an issue about which people have extremely strong feelings.
