As historians have begun to conceptualize the U.S. Civil War as a global event, so too must they consider Reconstruction as a political process that transcended national boundaries. The United States and Colombia both abolished slavery during civil wars; ex-slaves in both societies struggled for full citizenship and landholding, partially succeeding for a time; in both societies, a harsh reaction ripped full citizenship from the freedpeople and denied their claims to the land. These events, usually studied only as part of a national story in either the United States or Colombia, can also be understood, and perhaps be better understood, as a history of hemispheric and transnational processes—of race, of republican politics, of contests over equality, of capitalism. This essay examines the words and actions of historical actors, especially U.S. African Americans and afrocolombianos, to note the impressive commonalities of discourse (which was almost exactly the same in many cases) and political repertoires. This article focuses first on the agency of African Americans in both societies to create post-emancipation social movements for citizenship and land and then on the, largely successful, reactions against these movements.

半球重建：哥伦比亚和美国的解放后社会运动和资本主义反应

随着历史学家开始将美国内战概念化为全球事件，他们也必须将重建视为超越国界的政治进程。美国和哥伦比亚在内战期间都废除了奴隶制；两个社会的前奴隶都为获得完全的公民身份和土地所有权而奋斗，并在一段时间内取得了部分成功；在这两个社会中，严厉的反应剥夺了自由人的完整公民身份，并否认他们对土地的要求。这些事件，通常只作为美国或哥伦比亚国家故事的一部分进行研究，也可以理解，也许更好地理解，作为半球和跨国进程的历史——种族、共和政治、争夺平等, 资本主义. 这篇文章考察了历史人物的言行，尤其是美国 非裔美国人和 afrocolombianos，注意到令人印象深刻的话语共性（在许多情况下几乎完全相同）和政治曲目。本文首先关注非洲裔美国人在两个社会中为公民身份和土地创造解放后社会运动的机构，然后关注对这些运动的基本成功的反应。
