Hostility and Hope: Black Education in North Carolina during Presidential Reconstruction, 1865-1867

Record #:
21294
Abstract:
Education in the South during Reconstruction suffered several setbacks that affected both white and black children. While black communities were able to establish many schools with the assistance of northern societies, many southern whites refused to found state-wide education systems. They feared that northerners would force integration and undesirable teachers into southern schools.
