Pages are otherwise very clean and clear. Binding is tight. Burgundy cloth boards with gilt spine lettering; red black and white dj mylar cover; xvi 312 pp. "Historians overwhelmingly have blamed the demise of Reconstruction on the South and on white Americans' persistent racism. Heather Cox Richardson argues instead that class along with race was critical to Reconstruction's end. Northern support for freed blacks and Reconstruction weakened as growing labor interests critiqued the economy and called for government redistribution of wealth." "Using newspapers public speeches popular tracts Congressional reports and private correspondence Richardson traces the changing Northern attitudes toward African-Americans from the Republicans' idealized image of black workers in 1861 through the 1901 publication of Booker T. Washington's Up from Slavery. She examines such issues as black suffrage disfranchisement taxation westward migration lynching and civil rights to detect the trajectory of Northern disenchantment with Reconstruction. She reveals a growing backlash from Northerners against those who believed that inequalities should be addressed through working-class action and the emergence of an American middle class that championed individual productivity and saw African-Americans as a threat to their prosperity."--Jacket. Contents include: Prologue: the view from Atlanta 1895 -- The Northern postwar vision 1865-1867 -- The mixed blessing of universal suffrage 1867-1870 -- Black workers and the South Carolina government 1871-1875 -- Civil rights and the growth of the national government 1870-1883 -- The Black exodus from the South 1879-1880 -- The un-American Negro 1880-1900 -- Epilogue: Booker T.
