What did freedom actually look like the day after the Civil War ended? This graphic novel history lesson moves beyond the politicians in Washington to explore the reality of freedom for millions of formerly enslaved people. We examine the crushing economic cycle of sharecropping, the social upheaval of the "New South," and the desperate struggle for survival and education. From the promise of "40 Acres and a Mule" to the arrival of Carpetbaggers and Scalawags, discover how society and the economy were rebuilt from the ashes of war.
