About This Book

The work traces the political breakup and reconstruction of a southern state during and after the Civil War, beginning with the forces and official actions that produced separation and assigning responsibility for secession. It examines regional loyalties, especially opposition in the mountainous east, the restoration of civil government, federal recognition and constitutional amendments affecting the state, and the financial and municipal administration under Radical rule. It documents violent reaction and vigilante campaigns attributed to white supremacist groups, the decline of Radical domination, and the deliberations and outcomes of the 1870 constitutional convention. Analysis combines narrative chronology with institutional and legal discussion of governance, policy, and public order.
