"Good book; very interesting. Although times it was a little dull, it gave great insight into the years of Reconstruction. I had to read it for my graduate seminar class so it wasn't my first pick but was glad to have read it."
"Brilliant book on Reconstruction -- most fascinating to me was the last quarter of the book, which tied the end of Reconstruction and the end of Federal support to the freed slaves and the rise of labor organizations and the LACK of Federal support for worker's attempts to get fair wages and an eight hour day. The same arguments (and I mean exactly the same arguments) regarding how Federal force/control should and should not be used have been going on for nearly 150 years."
"Foner is probably America's most accomplished social historian, and this book is a major reason why. The discussion of what actually happened during Reconstruction is fascinating and necessary, but my favorite part was about the rise of the "liberal reformers," who put their notions of respectability and class interest ahead of following through with the Civil War. There was a lot familiar there, sadly."
"I read Foner as part of an organizing seminar some 15 years ago. As a Northern, I was fascinated to learn a different perspective of the Civil War and its aftermath. Yes, it is true that the 'victors write the history.'"
