Lawrence Goldstone

4.9/5 (21156 ratings)

Description:Following the Civil War, the Reconstruction era raised a new question to those in power in the US: should African Americans, so many of them former slaves, be granted the right to vote?In a bitter partisan fight over the legislature and Constitution, the answer eventually became yes, though only after two constitutional amendments, two Reconstruction Acts, two Civil Rights Acts, three Enforcement Acts, the impeachment of a president, and an army of occupation. Yet, even that was not enough to ensure that African American voices would be heard, or their lives protected. White supremacists loudly and intentionally prevented black Americans from voting -- and they were willing to kill to do so.In this portrait of the systematic suppression of the African American vote, author Lawrence Goldstone traces the injustices of the post-Reconstruction era through the eyes of individuals, both heroic and barbaric, and examines the legal cases that made the Supreme Court a partner of white supremacists in the rise of Jim Crow.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
