Why the Solid South? or Reconstruction and Its Results

Bag om Why the Solid South? or Reconstruction and Its Results

""Why The Solid South? Or Reconstruction And Its Results"" by Hilary A. Herbert is a historical analysis of the Reconstruction era in the American South. The book explores the reasons behind the South's political and social alignment with the Democratic Party, which became known as the ""Solid South"" during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Herbert examines the impact of Reconstruction policies on the Southern states, including the establishment of military rule and the enfranchisement of African Americans. He argues that these policies were ultimately unsuccessful in promoting lasting political and social change, as the South remained deeply divided along racial and political lines. The book also delves into the role of prominent Southern politicians and leaders during this time, including Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Nathan Bedford Forrest. Herbert provides a nuanced perspective on their actions and beliefs, challenging popular perceptions of these figures as either heroes or villains. Overall, ""Why The Solid South?"" offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of a pivotal period in American history, shedding light on the complex factors that contributed to the enduring political and social divisions of the South.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
