A clear, accessible study of how Lincoln’s Reconstruction plan differed from Congress’s response and how those ideas shaped America’s return to the Union.
This book traces the competing visions for rebuilding states and redefining citizenship after the Civil War.
The author surveys the Presidential Plan and the rise of the Congressional Plan, explaining the mechanics of provisional governments, new state constitutions, and the path to formal reentry into the Union. It also examines emancipation provisions, voting rights, and the political contests that defined a pivotal era.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Preface MUCH of the material included in this volume was collected several years ago while the author was a graduate student at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania. The researches then commenced probably jirst suggested to him the lack in our political literature of an ample and interesting account of the return of the States. Students, librarians, and even professors of history knew no adequate treatise on the era of reconstruction, and their testimony was con firmed by the authority of Mr. Eryce, who happily describes the succession of events in those crowded times as forming one of the most intricate chapters of A meri can history. No apology is offered, therefore, for considering in this essay so important and so long-neg lected a theme as the rise of the political revolution that occurred before reunion was finally accomplished.
