President Obama has
designated three new national monuments devoted to civil rights history,
including the first National
Park Service site dedicated to Reconstruction. The monument includes several sites
near Beaufort, S.C., which fell under Union control in November
1861, and became one of the first places where emancipated slaves voted, bought
property and created churches, schools and businesses. • Article
