Summary: Amazing
Comment: This a powerful documentary and a story about Reconstruction that is rarely spoken about in mainstream media. This is required watching for all Americans.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Terrorist organization?
Comment: The Ku Klux Klan was an organization designed to put forth the rights of white Americans. One of its major functions was to intimidate the white dead beat husbands, whom abused thier wives and children and whom would not take care of thier families. How quickly the media forgets that aspect of the Klan. If the Klan was half the size it was in the 1920s, social services such as DFCS wouldn't be needed...

Summary: History Buff's Side
Comment: Being a History Buff of the Civil War period, naturally Reconstruction also has it's appeal to me. I never learned much about either in school. All I was taught, there was a war, these were the sides, this is who did what, the US wins the end. Then Reconstruction was always giving you the impression of great change. Actually both were horrors in themselves. Which was worse? Can you honestly answer that question?
This was the first real insight I had into Reconstruction. I would seek out other documentaries, I haven't yet tarted reading into this yet, and would get a better idea of it that way. I would recommend anyone interested in this period, or simply curious to watch this. It made you think, that the war wasn't entirely as you were likely lead to believe. This documentary was constructed in the History Channels new way of making their documentaries, which are more like Docu-Drama's which to me make it easier to "understand".

Summary: Real History
Comment: It has only been in more recent years that American schools have dared to teach the real history of this country, which to a great extent has been neither Christian or democratic. I highly recommend this documentary for an accurate portrayal of the continuation of the civil war which continued to resonate for over a century, and whose remnants continue to tarnish American society.

Summary: Reconstruction reconsidered
Comment: This DVD from the history channel is well done. It highlights some of the outstanding events of reconstruction after the Civil War including the founding of the KKK. It makes the point grahphically that while the North won the Civil War, the South won the period of Reconstruction. It is essential to understand this period of time in order to understand subsequent American History.

Despite common belief the Civil War does not end in 1865 and the blood of many Americans mostly blacks continues to flow freely. It is a period known as "Reconstruction" a time many consider to be the darkest in American History. America is supposed to be reuniting healing its wounds and moving past civil discord. But by examining what is really going on in the post-Civil War South one can see snapshots of a larger more menacing picture a picture shadowed by murder terrorism and chaos as "free" black men and women remain enslaved by a South that does not completely surrender. Insurgencies led by disgruntled ex-Confederate soldiers rip through nearly every southern state. America's first terrorist group the Ku Klux Klan is formed in Tennessee and uses scare tactics and murder to keep blacks down.Run Time: 90 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.
