Pages : 230
Book Description
Excerpt from Political Opinion in Massachusetts During the Civil War and Reconstruction By reputation the Bay State has always been Republi can. But a majority never expresses the whole political Opinion. Besides it is a minority which at times makes itself most felt, as for example, in national affairs, in the Civil War itself. The position and character of a minority is Often forgotten; for history records merely the success Of the triumphant, and tradition passes on the thoughts of the conspicuous. I purpose here to inquire into the strength of the minority, and the reasons for their opposition and their strength; to discover who were the spectacular and famous individuals or representatives of both sides; and to ascertain what the majority really thought. In other words, I shall try to present a comprehensive study of the political Opinion in Massachusetts during the Civil War and Reconstruction.

The Civil War Confiscation Acts
Author: John Syrett
Publisher: Fordham Univ Press
ISBN: 9780823224890
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
The Confiscation Acts were designed to sanction slave holding states by authorizing the Federal Government to seize rebel properties and grant freedom to slaves who fought with or worked for the Confederate military. In the first full account in more than twenty years of them, John Syrett examines the political contexts of the Acts, especially the debates in Congress, and demonstrates how the failure of the confiscation acts during the war presaged the political and structural shortcomings of Reconstruction after the war.

The Struggle for Equality
Author: James M. McPherson
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400852234
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 493
Book Description
Originally published in 1964, The Struggle for Equality presents an incisive and vivid look at the abolitionist movement and the legal basis it provided to the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Pulitzer Prize–winning historian James McPherson explores the role played by rights activists during and after the Civil War, and their evolution from despised fanatics into influential spokespersons for the radical wing of the Republican Party. Asserting that it was not the abolitionists who failed to instill principles of equality, but rather the American people who refused to follow their leadership, McPherson raises questions about the obstacles that have long hindered American reform movements. This new Princeton Classics edition marks the fiftieth anniversary of the book's initial publication and includes a new preface by the author.
