Manage episode 399835918 series 2833072
Columbia, South Carolina, offers visitors the unique opportunity to dive deep into American history and learn about the Reconstruction Era, a time of hope and turmoil following the Civil War. This short period from 1865 to 1877 was a challenging time of rebuilding the nation by integrating the southern states back into the Union after the Civil War.
Efforts are being made to bring greater attention to the Reconstruction Era, emphasizing its significance in shaping American history. Columbia, South Carolina, is leading the charge with the Reconstruction Era Trail, which tells the story of the post-Civil War period as it happened in Columbia, South Carolina.
Join us for this heartfelt homage to Columbia’s resilience and a candid look at the milestones and setbacks that shaped its history. We visit (3) historical and cultural attractions in Columbia, South Carolina, that showcase the African American experience post-Civil War.
Uncover how African Americans forged new paths, reunited with families, founded schools and churches, and fought for their rightful place in the political landscape, only to face a formidable backlash.
