Reconstructing America
Inhalt:
Through informative case studies, this illuminating book remaps considerations of the Civil War and Reconstruction era by charting the ways in which the needs, interests, and experiences of going to war, fighting it, and making sense of it informed and directed politics, public life, social change, and cultural memory after the warGs end. In doing so, it shows that Gthe warG did not actually end with LeeGs surrender at Appomattox and LincolnGs assassination in Washington. As the contributors show, major issues remained, including defining GfreedomG; rebuilding the South; integrating women and blacks into postwar society, culture, and polities; deciding the place of the military in public life; demobilizing or redeploying soldiers; organizing a new party system; and determining the scope and meanings of Gunion.G.
