Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the harrowing story of the Rev. Jotham W. Horton, a New England minister who, in 1866, traveled to New Orleans to support the newly freed people of the South. During his time there, he became a victim of the city's violent racial tensions, tragically murdered by a mob of white supremacists. The author captures the brutal reality of the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, as the fragile peace was threatened by the resurgence of racial hatred and the systematic oppression of Black Americans. Through a vivid reconstruction of the events leading up to Horton's death, the author not only chronicles a single tragedy but exposes the brutal reality of the violence that permeated the South during this period. The book also highlights the strength and resilience of the newly freed people, and the dedication of those who risked their lives to defend their rights. Ultimately, this book is a testament to the ongoing struggle for racial justice, and a powerful reminder of the enduring human cost of intolerance.
