From one of our most distinguished historians comes a
groundbreaking new examination of the myths and realities of the
period after the Civil War.
Drawing on a wide range of long-neglected documents, Eric Foner
places a new emphasis on black experiences and roles during the
era. We see African Americans as active agents in overthrowing
slavery, in shaping Reconstruction, and creating a legacy long
obscured and misunderstood. He compellingly refutes long-standing
misconceptions of Reconstruction, and shows how the failures of the
time sowed the seeds of the Civil Rights struggles of the 1950s and
60s. Richly illustrated and movingly written, this is an
illuminating and essential addition to our understanding of this
momentous era.
