The rebuilding of the South after the Civil War is called the Reconstruction. The Reconstruction lasted from 1865 to 1877. The purpose of the Reconstruction was to help the South become a part of the Union again. Sound simple right?...... Nothing could be farther from the truth. That's where you come in. The United States needs your help. They will need you to solve the clues to help put the country back together. Good luck. "You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today". ...Abraham Lincoln.
