A memoir of the ambitious life and controversial political career
of Louisiana governor Henry Clay Warmoth (1842-1931), ""War,
Politics, and Reconstruction"" is a firsthand account of the
political and social machinations of Civil War America and the
war's aftermath in one of the most volatile states of the defeated
Confederacy. An Illinois native, Warmoth arrived in Louisiana in
1864 as part of the federal occupation forces. Upon leaving
military service in 1865, he established a legal practice in New
Orleans. Taking full advantage of the chaotic times, Warmoth
rapidly amassed fortune and influence, and soon emerged as a leader
of the state's Republican Party and, in 1868, was elected governor.
Amid an administration rife with scandal, the Louisiana Republican
Party broke into warring factions. Warmoth survived an impeachment
attempt in 1872, but a second attempt in 1873 culminated with his
removal from office. This fall from Republican grace stemmed from
his allegiance with white conservatives, remnants of the old guard,
and staunch opponents of those Republicans who sought a wider
political role for African Americans. Never again to hold political
office, Warmoth remained in his adopted Louisiana, enjoying the
fruits of his investments in plantations and sugar refineries. In
1930, the year before his death, he published ""War, Politics, and
Reconstruction"", a vindication of his public life and a rebuttal
of his carpetbagger reputation. Despite Warmoth's obvious
self-serving biases, the volume offers unparalleled personal
insights into the inner workings of Reconstruction government in
Louisiana in the words of one of its key architects. A new
introduction by John C. Rodrigue places Warmoth's memoir within the
broader context of evolving perceptions and historiography of
Reconstruction. Rodrigue also offers readers a more balanced
portrait of Warmoth by providing supplemental information omitted
or slighted by the author in his efforts to cast his actions in the
most positive light.
