Reconstruction During The Civil War In The United States Of America

""Reconstruction During The Civil War In The United States Of America"" by Eben Greenough Scott is a comprehensive historical account of the period of Reconstruction in the United States following the Civil War. The book traces the political, social, and economic changes that occurred during this time, including the abolition of slavery, the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, and the struggle for civil rights for African Americans.Scott examines the policies and actions of key figures such as President Abraham Lincoln, President Andrew Johnson, and the Radical Republicans in Congress, as they worked to rebuild the nation and address the issues of race and inequality that had long plagued American society. He also explores the experiences of ordinary Americans, both black and white, as they navigated the challenges and opportunities of Reconstruction.Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, including government documents, newspaper articles, and personal letters, Scott provides a vivid and compelling narrative of this pivotal period in American history. He argues that while Reconstruction ultimately failed to achieve its goals of racial equality and justice, it laid the groundwork for future efforts to address these issues and paved the way for the Civil Rights Movement of the 20th century.Overall, ""Reconstruction During The Civil War In The United States Of America"" is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the complex and often fraught history of race relations in the United States.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
