| Summary: | This concise history delves into the constitutional, political and social issues behind Reconstruction to provide a lucid and original account of a historical moment that left an indelible mark on American social fabric. The author depicts Reconstruction as a "bourgeois revolution," as the attempted extension of the free-labor ideology embodied by Lincoln and the Republican Party to what was perceived as a Southern region gone awry from the Founders' intention in the pursuit of Romantic aristocracy. |
