Appomattox closed one violent door and opened up another.,
By A Customer
This review is from: But There Was No Peace: The Role of Violence in the Politics of Reconstruction (Hardcover)
Until I read Rable`s book concerning the time after the war, I had no idea of the racial violence that existed in our nation. The book demonstrates that no matter how hard the north tried to legislate racial harmony, it was doomed to failure. The book also points to the future and leads us to see that our present social/racial situation is the fruit of that period. The war may have brought the states back into the union but North and South could not abide one another still..so they fight on, not on a battle field but in a political arena. This books serves as a "Part II". The war being Part I.
