History
Schooling the Freed People
About this book
Ronald E. Butchart looks closely at who taught in schools for formerly enslaved people after the Civil War. Drawing on records of the teachers themselves, he brings Black educators into view alongside the Northern missionaries more often associated with these schools. The result gives readers a clearer sense of how education was organized on the ground during Reconstruction.
