The Civil War Amendments—Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth—represent a profound transformation of the U.S. Constitution, redefining the relationship between the individual, the state, and the federal government. This course explores how these amendments sought to repair the original Constitution’s failure to address slavery and racial inequality. Tracing the historical arc from America’s founding through the Civil War and Reconstruction, the program examines the philosophical and legal clash between republicanism and aristocracy, the enduring myth of “states’ rights,” and the continuing relevance of these amendments in today’s constitutional debates. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how law has been used both to justify and dismantle systems of racial oppression—and how the Civil War Amendments remain central to the pursuit of liberty and equality for all.
