The best class you'll take in high school.

Kelsey: "Ok, I hope this helps! I added some information from wtp that's relevant to this chapter, and I included the cases mentioned in the chapter. The book barely describes the cases, and they're actually really interesting if you haven't read about them yet, so I thought I would include those, too.

These are charts that organize a large chunk of the boring information of Reconstruction into happy colorful little charts. Don't memorize the information in them... just understand them.

The titles are self-explanatory, but for those of you who may still be confused, "Sociopolitical Groups and their Policies" involves specific major figures and associations and the ideologies behind them... it also talks about their contributions to the big picture of Reconstruction. "Acts and Proclamations of Reconstruction" specify various things like amendments and bills and acts and define their terms.

Happy New Year."
