Digest of Election Cases: Cases of Contested Election in the House of Representatives From 1865 to 1871, Inclusive (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is a compilation of election contest cases that occurred during the 38th United States Congress from 1865 to 1871. The cases primarily involve the question of how to reorganize state governments after the Civil War and the role of federal authority in that reorganization. During this time, several Southern states were under military occupation and sought to reestablish local governance. The book examines the question of which authority should oversee this restructuring: federal or state, or some combination of both. It highlights the conflict between the desire for local autonomy and the need for federal oversight to protect the rights of newly enfranchised African Americans and ensure the states would not return to secession or Jim Crow laws. By analyzing the legal arguments and historical context of these cases, this book provides insights into the complex and often contentious process of reconstructing a nation after a civil war.
