Welcome to the Reconstruction Period Research Forum. W. E. B. Du Bois, in his classic study of the role of the African American
In the post-Civil War Reconstruction finds: "The story of transplanting millions of Africans to
the new world and of their bondage for four centuries, is a fascinating one. Particularly
interesting for students of human culture is the sudden freeing of these Black folk in the
Nineteenth Century and the attempt through them, to reconstruct the basis of American democracy
from 1860-1880." His study has significance for the family researcher since "it seeks to tell
and interpret those twenty years of fateful history with especial reference to the efforts and
experience of the Black folk themselves."
