Description
A groundbreaking history of the Southern movement for social justice that gave birth to civil rights. The civil rights movement that loomed over the 1950s and 1960s was the tip of an iceberg, the legal and political remnant of a broad, raucous, deeply American movement for social justice that flourished from the 1920s through the 1940s.

Description
Leuchtenburg offers an engaging account of relations between these three presidents and the South while also tracing how the region came to embrace a national perspective without losing its distinctive sense of place. Leuchtenburg explores in fascinating detail how their unique attachment to “place” helped them to adopt shifting identities, which proved useful in healing rifts between North and South, in altering behavior in regard to race, and in fostering southern economic growth.

- Contributor biographical information
- Publisher description
Description
This was the start of an insurgency that changed the course of American history: for the next few years white Southern Democrats waged a campaign of political terrorism aiming to overturn the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and challenge President Grant?ssupport for the emergent structures of black political power. When Ames pleaded with Grant for federal troops who could thwart the white terrorists violently disrupting Republican political activities, Grant wavered, and the result was a bloody, corrupt election in which Mississippi was ?redeemed??that is, returned to white control.

Monuments To The Lost Cause : Women, Art, And The Landscapes Of Southern Memory

Attribution
edited by Cynthia Mills and Pamela H. Simpson
Publication Details
Book, 1st ed, University of Tennessee Press, 2003
Description
Monuments to the Lost Cause: Women, Art, and the Landscapes of Southern Memory is a richly illustrated collection of fourteen essays examining the ways in which these memorials?from Monument Avenue to Stone Mountain?and the public rituals surrounding them testify to the tenets of the Lost Cause, a romanticized narrative of the war. Several essays highlight the creative leading role played by women?s groups in memorialization, while others explore the alternative ways in which people outside white southern culture?African Americans and Union supporters?wrote their very different histories on the southern landscape.

A Nation Under Our Feet : Black Political Struggles In The Rural South, From Slavery To The Great Migration

Attribution
Steven Hahn
Publication Details
Book, Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2003
Description
This is the epic story of how African-Americans, in the six decades following slavery, transformed themselves into a political people–an embryonic black nation. At the same time, Hahn asks us to think in more expansive ways about the nature and boundaries of politics and political practice. He also identifies the quest for self-governance as an essential goal of black politics across the rural South, from contests for local power during Reconstruction, to emigrationism, biracial electoral alliances, social separatism, and, eventually, migration.

The Scalawags : Southern Dissenters In The Civil War And Reconstruction

Attribution
James Alex Baggett
Publication Details
Book, Louisiana State University Press, 2003
Description
James Alex Baggett’s THE SCALAWAGS ambitiously uncovers the genesis of scalawag leaders in the entire former Confederacy. Examining such features as birthplace, vocation, estate, slaveholding status, stand on secession, Republican Party involvement, war record, and postwar political activities, he finds striking uniformity among scalawags. This first Southwide stuffy of the scalawags rescues from the shadows once-vilified men who are vital to understanding Reconstruction and illustrates the events surrounding their political decisions.
