Inhalt:
Although Kentucky was not subject to reconstruction as such, the period of readjustment following the Civil War was a troubled one for the Commonwealth. Violence begun by guerillas continued for years. In addition, white ""Regulators"" tried to cow the new freedmen and keep them in a perpetual state of fearful submission that would assure the agricultural labor supply.Their attacks produced exactly the effects whites least desired: the blacks became all the more determined to leave the countryside, and the federal government imposed the Freedmen's Bureau to protect the former slaves.
