I used Reconstructing the South: A Role Play for the first time this year.

It was gratifying to see students’ insights shift, and to witness them grappling with hard choices – not unlike the experiences of newly Freedmen, who didn’t always make the choices that Northern politicians thought they should.

Reconstructing the South: A Role Play

Teaching Activity. By Bill Bigelow. 17 pages.
This role play engages students in thinking about what freedpeople needed in order to achieve — and sustain — real freedom following the Civil War. It's followed by a chapter from the book Freedom's Unfinished Revolution.
