Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="text-abstract"> <title> <x content-type="archive" xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>What follows is a written reproduction of a forum held at the annual meeting of the Organization of American Historians in San Francisco in April 2013. The forum commemorated the twenty-fifth anniversary of the publication of Eric Foner's <italic>Reconstruction: America's Unfinished Revolution, 1863–1877</italic>. Kate Masur (Northwestern University) organized and introduced the discussion, and the commentators in order of speaking were the following: <list list-type="bullet"><list-item><label></label><p>Heather Andrea Williams, The University of Pennsylvania</p></list-item><list-item><label></label><p>Gregory P.

However, given the opportunity for reflection inherent in the published word, the authors and editors have made some small changes to enhance readability.</p> </abstract>
