The Politics of Race in New York
Author: Phyllis F. Field
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501721534
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Black suffrage was a crucial and volatile issue in the North during the Civil War era. In The Politics of Race in New York, Phyllis F. Field studies the development of racial policies in the Empire State. Asserting that it is not possible to understand the move toward black suffrage by examining national trends and the actions of individual politicians, she takes a close look at the social context of reform.Field assesses popular reaction to the idea of black suffrage by systematically analyzing the results of a series of referenda on the issue held in New York State between 1846 and 1869. Tracing the relation between changes in public opinion and the positions taken by political parties, Field concludes that party leaders tried both to express the views of their constituents and to mold those views so as to strengthen and unify their own political organizations. Inevitably, this intrusion of political considerations in the issue of race had long-term consequences for the process of social change in the United States.The Politics of Race in New York shows clearly how, in 1870, black suffrage could be achieved even though the battle for black equality had yet to begin.

States at War, Volume 2
Author: Richard F. Miller
Publisher: University Press of New England
ISBN: 1611682673
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 505
Book Description
While many Civil War reference books exist, there is no single compendium that contains important details about the combatant states (and territories) that Civil War researchers can readily access for their work. People looking for information about the organizations, activities, economies, demographics, and prominent personalities of Civil War states and state governments must assemble data from a variety of sources, with many key sources remaining unavailable online. This volume provides a crucial reference book for Civil War scholars and historians, professional or amateur, seeking information about New York during the war. Its principal sources include the Official Records, state adjutant general reports, legislative journals, state and federal legislation, executive speeches and proclamations on the federal and state levels, and the general and special orders issued by the military authorities of both governments, North and South. Designed and organized for easy use, this book can be read in two ways: by individual state, with each chapter offering a stand-alone history of an individual state's war years; or across states, comparing reactions to the same event or solutions to the same problems.

The Radical Republicans and Reform in New York during Reconstruction
Author: James C. Mohr
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501742728
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
New insights into the politics of the Reconstruction era are offered in this study. Contending that the North, as well as the South, underwent reconstruction after the Civil War, the author examines the kinds of legislation the Radical Republicans tried to enact when they gained control in New York. Reform is the central theme of the book: fire protection, public health, labor, education, and voting are some of the areas covered. White reaction to black suffrage, the author maintains, brought dissension to, and meant defeat for, a political coalition that had begun to launch a reform program with profound implications.
