Did slavery really end after the Civil War?

Offering a provocative challenge to this assumption, this eye-opening documentary describes how during Reconstruction new systems of involuntary servitude—often characterized by shocking force and brutality—developed in the South. Based on the Pulitzer Prize–winning book by Douglas A. Blackmon, the program shows how, for more than 80 years after the war, thousands of African Americans were arrested, compelled to work without pay, repeatedly bought and sold, and coerced to do the bidding of white masters. Reenactments, commentary from historians, and interviews with descendants of former slaves add context to and perspective on one of the most shameful chapters in American history.
