Book Overview

by Robert J. Kaczorowski (Author)

This landmark work of Constitutional and legal history is the leading account of the ways in which federal judges, attorneys, and other law officers defined a new era of civil and political rights in the South and implemented the revolutionary 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments during Reconstruction.

"Should be required reading . . . for all historians, jurists, lawyers, political scientists, and government officials who in one way or another are responsible for understanding and interpreting our civil rights past."--Harold M. Hyman, Journal of Southern History

"Important, richly researched. . . . the fullest account now available."--American Journal of Legal History
