This website provides a visual historical timeline of America after the Civil war to the beginning of the 20th century. Many important events occurred during this time in history. Americans were beginning to shift from their old ways to a new perspective on slavery and other issues. Changes were occurring rapidly; these included reconstruction and expansion into the Western territory, as well as the beginning of the Industrial era. This was a great thing for some, and had negative effects for others. Many of the main changes and events that occurred are highlighted in different pages of this website, as well as cultural and political influences that shaped these changes such as literature, art, and political figures.
