Second Founding: New York City, Reconstruction, and the Making of American Democracy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We naturally associate the Mason-Dixon line with the obvious divisions of ideology, and yet the case of none other than New York City is not so simple. This history of New York during the Civil War and Reconstruction shows a side we easily forget, from the infamous Draft riots to the age of Tilden and the end of reconstruction. In fact the struggle for racial tolerance nearly failed as the tide of Reconstruction past and the anti-democratic elites of the Gilded Age created the status quo that endured until the twentieth century.
