NPT's original documentary about the benevolent societies that form after the Civil War.
The late 19th and early 20th centuries were a time of joining in Tennessee. Civil war gave way to civic engagement, as thousands of benevolent societies and fraternal organizations formed. Born from crisis, these community organizations became a part of the fabric of a newly reborn United States. These institutions helped define and influence American ideals over a tumultuous period of growth.
