""Report On The Condition Of The South"" is a historical non-fiction book written by Carl Schurz. It was first published in 1865, just after the end of the American Civil War. The book is a comprehensive report on the conditions of the Southern states after the war, including the devastation of the economy, the social and political changes, and the treatment of freed slaves. Schurz, a German-American statesman and journalist, was appointed by President Andrew Johnson to tour the Southern states and report on their condition. He traveled extensively throughout the region, interviewing people from all walks of life and observing the aftermath of the war. The book provides a detailed analysis of the challenges facing the South, including the destruction of infrastructure, the loss of labor, and the breakdown of social structures. Schurz also discusses the political situation, including the role of the federal government in Reconstruction and the challenges faced by Southern leaders in rebuilding their states.
