My Civil War master course, going from the beginning of violence in Bleeding Kansas to the Union's effective surrender to the Klan in 1877, I cover the rise of the Republican Party, the career of John Brown, the political aspects of the Civil War, the varying degrees of liberty black people achieved in Reconstruction, and the domestic terror epidemic in the same period.
