The Bloody Shirt: Terror After the Civil War Paperback - 2008
by Stephen Budiansky
In his vivid, fast-paced narrative of the era now known as reconstruction, Budiansky illuminates the lives of five remarkable men, whose idealism in the face of overwhelming hatred would not be matched for nearly a century. 8-page b&w photo insert.
Summary
A gripping look at terrorist violence during the Reconstruction era
Between 1867, when the defeated South was forced to establish new state governments that fully represented both black and white citizens, and 1877, when the last of these governments was overthrown, more than three thousand African Americans and their white allies were killed by terrorist violence. Drawing on original letters and diaries as well as published racist diatribes of the time, acclaimed historian Stephen Budiansky concentrates his vivid, fast paced narrative on the efforts of five heroic men?two Union officers, a Confederate general, a Northern entrepreneur, and a former slave?who showed remarkable idealism and courage as they struggled to establish a ?New South? in the face of overwhelming hatred and organized resistance. The Bloody Shirt sheds new light on the violence, racism, division, and heroism of Reconstruction, a largely forgotten but epochal chapter in American history.
