Reconstruction Era Amendments (The Constitution EXPLAINED)
How did the Constitution change following the Civil War? These 6 videos explain how the Constitution can be amended and introduce students to the Reconstruction era amendments (13th, 14th, 15th) that granted freedom and ensured rights for Black Americans.
This playlist is a part of Constitution EXPLAINED, a series of 35 short videos that explain the text, history, and relevance of the United States Constitution, Bill of Rights, and additional amendments in everyday language.
Developed in partnership with the Center for Civic Education, and with the invaluable contributions of constitutional scholar Linda R. Monk, JD.
