Editorial Reviews

Gr 5 Up-Study of Civil War America does not end with Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox Court House in April 1865. Economic and social issues that divided the nation in 1861 continued unanswered. Victory on the military front created belief and assurance that the Republican-dominated North would dictate terms of rebuilding to the defeated, vanquished South. Contention and disagreement emerged when President Lincoln issued his 10 Percent Plan, Congress countered with the Wade-Davis Bill, and passions exploded when President Andrew Johnson challenged Congress over control of Reconstruction. Historians and laypersons alike continue to debate these issues and others including when Reconstruction began; if the Southern states were conquered territories; and which form of government was supreme, state or federal. Following a historical overview, this volume explains and discusses these contentious and varying opinions. "The Personalities of Reconstruction" gives information about the men who debated the issues of the day, and "Primary Documents of Reconstruction" presents speeches, proclamations, diary entries, and letters that offer a starting place for students' debates on the issues. With its long, complex sentences, this book will be best used by sophisticated readers.-Patricia Ann Owens, Wabash Valley College, Mt. Carmel, IL Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
