Episode Synopsis "Reinventing America: Reconstruction 1863-1877 by Lisa C. Childs, Ph.D."

From the Mind Stretcher lecture series: What exactly needs to be reconstructed during Reconstruction, and why has this period been so controversial among historians and so overlooked by the general public? Drawing on examples from Fort Smith and elsewhere in Arkansas, our guest speaker will discuss how communities, southern states, and the nation answer the questions raised by the destruction of slavery and the defeat of secession—and shape America’s future in the process. Lisa C. Childs, Ph.D., is Assistant Vice President for Technology Commercialization at The University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture and a Patent Attorney. She has published on Reconstruction and the formation of the Republican Party in Arkansas.
