Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the tumultuous period of Reconstruction in Virginia, focusing specifically on the complex interplay between the newly enfranchised African American population and the political landscape of the state. The author examines the impact of the newly-acquired right to vote by black Virginians, tracing its roots from the abolition of slavery in 1865 to the early 1900s, a time marked by radical political shifts and social unrest. The book explores the motives behind the push for African American suffrage, highlighting the competing ideologies of the Radical Republicans and the conservative white Virginians, and the role of political opportunists who sought to exploit the situation for personal gain. Through detailed analysis of key events, such as the 1867 Constitutional Convention and the rise of the Readjuster Movement, the author provides a nuanced perspective on the political maneuvering, social tensions, and cultural changes that defined this era. The author skillfully portrays the struggle of both races to adapt to the post-slavery reality, revealing the challenges and opportunities that emerged in the wake of a transformative social change. He examines the rise of racial and political divisions, while also highlighting the attempts at reconciliation and cooperation between African Americans and whites, particularly among the more moderate factions of both groups. The book ultimately reveals how Virginia's Reconstruction experience shaped the course of race relations and political development in the state for decades to come.
