In order for the old Southern aristocracy to reclaim control over state governments and thereby hamstring progress in the national government, political rights had to be stolen. A campaign to wear down Union resistance to the return to power of the Lost Cause aristocrats, demanded that Grant be discredited. Mr Scatturo shows how this was done. This was not done with a bullet as in the case of Lincoln--it was done by the pen. Read this book!
spoils system and did not offer them jobs. Instead he used his own choices to staff his administration.
subsequent historians picked up this and continued and expanded the attacks. Not until the recent 20centuaryj series of new and well researched biographies were questions raised.
A great addition to the record of a great man.
The Democratic party- particullary of the South- stiffled the great civil rights efforts of the Republicans during reconstruction. As time passed, and voting rights and other legislative initatives of the Granta administration were dismembered by the Southern Demacrats, they constantly sought to sully the memory of Grant. One of the keys to that effort was portraying the Grant administration in a bad light in terms of corruption. This was done by distortion history, and the outright falsification of the facts involved in the Grant administration. To a large extent these distortions have not been challanged.
Grant Reconsidered presents the historical record in a straight fowrward manner: The Grant presidency offered tremendous acomplishments- and really offered a bridge from a slave nation to a nation where all men have the same rights. An outstanding book!!
