Book Description

Excerpt from Reconstruction in North Carolina The author has sought throughout the work to divest himself of any prejudice in his treatment of a period which, while it closed before his birth, has been the cause of so much later bitterness, prejudice, and sectional mis understanding. He has held no thesis, but has sought only to present the truth, and, in the main, to relate rather than interpret. In his search for material one great obstacle has been found, namely, the marked disinclination of many of the actors in the period to discuss at all the matters therein involved. This will explain why so much of the material bearing on many disputed questions appears to be derived from one side. One or two Republicans of the period, however, have been of incalculable assistance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
