Rating: - Lemann recounts an era when terrorists oveturned Civil War promise of racial justice
Ten years after the end of the Civil War, an organized group of terrorists successfully overthrew legitimate governments in the American South. Using techniques as varied as economic threats, political intimidation and outright murder, these white terrorists "redeemed" their states from the wrongs they thought had been committed against them by the federal government. The "wrongs" in question stem from the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments, guaranteeing African-Americans full and equal participation ... Read More

Study your history folks the truth always speaks louder than propaganda such as with this ... Read More

Rating: - A Needed Corrective
Nicholas Lemann's book "Redemption: The Last Battle of the Civil War," focuses on mostly forgotten and often sanitized versions of specific incidents that marked the end of Reconstruction and the regaining by White Southerns of state and local government institutions leading to Jim Crow and Segregation that continued for another 90 years or so. The book, relatively brief, examines in detail several incidents, one in Lousiana, the others in Mississippi where local vigalante groups seized control from local ... Read More
Rating: - Last Battle?
The subtitle is a little bit of a cheat, for the Civil War was long over by the time the massacres of 1875 began, but after reading Nicholas Lemann's book on the failure of Reconstruction and the life of Civil War General Adelbert Ames, I can see why he decided to bend the truth and capture the huge Civil War market.
he shows how JFK was a patsy to the Southern Conservative myth of Reconstruction and how, in PROFILES IN COURAGE (1956) Kennedy included Lucius Lamar of Mississippi as an avatar of ... Read More
