About this title

Synopsis

This book is an analysis of the political, economic, and social conditions in the United States during Reconstruction, from the end of the Civil War to the 1870s. The author argues that the Republican Party's efforts to reconstruct the South were largely unsuccessful, and that the white Southerners resisted federal intervention and continued to oppress African Americans. The book also examines the role of violence and intimidation in suppressing black voters and the rise of white supremacist groups like the Ku Klux Klan. Ultimately, the author concludes that Reconstruction was a failure, and that the legacy of racial inequality and discrimination in the United States can be traced back to this period.
