"Effective in showing the sheer depth and virulence of white
supremacy in the South . . . This book and the story it tells
should keep us vigilant at protecting our political rights,
rendered sacred in the blood of Reconstruction, and beyond."-The
New York Sun A gripping look at terrorist violence during the
Reconstruction era Between 1867, when the defeated South was forced
to establish new state governments that fully represented both
black and white citizens, and 1877, when the last of these
governments was overthrown, more than three thousand African
Americans and their white allies were killed by terrorist violence.
Drawing on original letters and diaries as well as published racist
diatribes of the time, acclaimed historian Stephen Budiansky
concentrates his vivid, fast paced narrative on the efforts of five
heroic men-two Union officers, a Confederate general, a Northern
entrepreneur, and a former slave-who showed remarkable idealism and
courage as they struggled to establish a New South in the face of
overwhelming hatred and organized resistance. The Bloody Shirt
sheds new light on the violence, racism, division, and heroism of
Reconstruction, a largely forgotten but epochal chapter in American
history.
