Topic: “From Slaves to Citizens 1865-1872”
This is the remarkable story of how Pres. Abraham Lincoln’s dream came true
even after his assassination, his vision to engage a massive U.S. Army effort
to assimilate the newly freed slaves into society with their new privileges and responsibilities.
You’ll learn about what went right in Florida, what failed, the considerable forces
who tried to thwart it all, and the legacy of that effort to this day.
