For many the period of reconstruction was probably a more difficult
"humility" than military defeat. However, there have been some excellent
works written on reconstruction. Two that I found useful in looking at the
psychological impact as well as the more commonly addressed economic and
political issues and that are pretty accessible are _Rehearsal for
Reconstruction: The Port Royal Experiment_, Willie Lee Nichols Rose and _The
Era of Reconstruction, 1865-1877_, Kenneth M. Stampp.
