"I have to add this to the list of the best books I have read and put the full, much longer version on my to read list.
Two things stand out: (1) Former slaves really fought for citizenship and real equality (economic, political, etc), participated in politics, organized their community on many levels (politics, education), and took up arms to prevent any encroachments on their freedoms. (2) the fact that they failed can largely be attributed to racism and naked economic interest in the South but also in the North. The history of how the north went from supporting Reconstruction to abandoning it also says a lot about how our national political system i structured and how difficult it can be to sustain change....
I learned more from this book than anything I have read recently."
"I never had a chance to take Foner's course in college, so I wanted to be sure, with all this time on my hands, to tackle his tome on Reconstruction. Dense and depressing (especially the fact that so much of what was wrong with the country's politics then is still a problem today), but definitely worthwhile."
