| Summary |
"The untimely death of Abraham Lincoln not only marked the end of one of America's greatest presidential administrations, but also set the stage for a period known as Reconstruction. This legacy was famously mishandled by his successor, but advocates and allies like Ulysses S. Grant and Frederick Douglass sought to implement Lincoln's vision. While Reconstruction did see success like the 14th and 15th Amendments, its inability to achieve its virtuous goals still impact America today. This book examines the fundamental goals of Reconstruction and seeks to provide present-day conservative leaders with a specific roadmap to achieving Lincoln's intentions for a modern America"-- book jacket. |
