Ordinary people do not experience history as it is taught by
historians. They live across the convenient chronological divides
we impose on the past. The same people who lived through the Civil
War and the eradication of slavery also dealt with the hardships of
Reconstruction, so why do we almost always treat them separately?
In this groundbreaking new book, the renowned historian Thomas C.
Holt challenges this convention to tell the story of generations of
African Americans through the lived experience of the subjects
themselves, with all of the nuances, ironies, contradictions, and
complexities one might expect.
