Building on arguments presented in "The Struggle for Equality,"
James McPherson shows that many abolitionists did not retreat from
Reconstruction, as historical accounts frequently lead us to
believe, but instead vigorously continued the battle for black
rights long after the Civil War. Tracing the activities of nearly
300 abolitionists and their descendants, he reveals that some
played a crucial role in the establishment of schools and colleges
for southern blacks, while others formed the vanguard of liberals
who founded the NAACP in 1910. The author's examination of the
complex and unhappy fate of Reconstruction clarifies the uneasy
partnership of northern and southern white liberals after 1870, the
tensions between black activists and white neo-abolitionists, the
evolution of resistance to racist ideologies, and the origins of
the NAACP.
