(4) K-3 Our Great States series. Culture oversimplifies a complex, multifaceted topic; Reconstruction does a better job (superficially) outlining events and influences on post–Civil War United States. Both books suffer from choppily written texts ("White people owned the slaves. Slaves were considered property"); colorized archival illustrations, photos, and sidebars supplement the information. Reading list, timeline. Glos., ind. Review covers these African-American History titles: African-American Culture and The Reconstruction Era.
