But what happened next was one of the most important decades in American history, a moment when our country grappled with its original sin and imagined \u2014 and briefly enacted \u2014 a more perfect union.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing from archives, letters, diaries, court records, eyewitness testimonies and some of America\u2019s most accomplished scholars and storytellers,\u00a0<i>Reconstruction: The Unfinished Promise<\/i>\u00a0explores this unprecedented historical moment in rich, kaleidoscopic detail. The series unpacks a time when a determined band of reformers attempted to radically reimagine American society \u2014 from the Constitution to the roots of its economy to the very nature of citizenship itself.<\/p>\n<p>Reconstruction was a time when Americans struggled over fundamental questions about our country. Who gets to be a citizen? Who has the right to vote? Who can own property? In short, who belongs?\u00a0<i>Reconstruction: The Unfinished Promise<\/i>\u00a0explores what America might have looked like if Reconstruction had truly succeeded, and how the ultimate backlash to Reconstruction prevented our country from becoming a truly multiracial democracy.<\/p>\n<p>Guiding us through this extraordinary moment in American history is best-selling author and host of\u00a0<i>Revisionist History<\/i>\u00a0Malcolm Gladwell. He\u2019ll have help from luminaries, historians, and storytellers such as President Barack Obama, Jelani Cobb, Wyatt Cenac, David Blight, Kidada Williams, and Eric Foner. This is a series about why America has yet to make good on the promise of Reconstruction, and how it still might.<\/p>\n<p>An Audible Original in partnership with History Channel.
