The American Civil War has been a popular subject in many films and shows, but there hasn’t been as much interest in the period that directly followed. America’s Reconstruction era was complex, multi-faceted, and critical in establishing key infrastructural achievements and impediments, many of which still affect the country today.

Lincoln himself has been covered in several biopics, but the innovative Apple TV thriller Manhuntexamined the desperate hunt led by his allies to track down those responsible for the killing.
