In the months after the end of the Civil War, there was one word on
everyone's lips: redemption. From the fiery language of Radical
Republicans calling for a reconstruction of the former Confederacy
to the petitions of those individuals who had worked the land as
slaves to the white supremacists who would bring an end to
Reconstruction in the late 1870s, this crucial concept informed the
ways in which many people--both black and white, northerner and
southerner--imagined the transformation of the American
South.
"Beyond Redemption" explores how the violence of a protracted civil
war shaped the meaning of freedom and citizenship in the new South.
Here, Carole Emberton traces the competing meanings that redemption
held for Americans as they tried to come to terms with the war and
the changing social landscape. While some imagined redemption from
the brutality of slavery and war, others--like the infamous Ku Klux
Klan--sought political and racial redemption for their losses
through violence. "Beyond Redemption" merges studies of race and
American manhood with an analysis of post-Civil War American
politics to offer unconventional and challenging insight into the
violence of Reconstruction.
