Nordhoff was a vocal supporter of Lincoln's theory of the perpetual union of the Constitution and the impossibility of secession. His liberal sensibilities made him interested, like his fellow German-American Carl Schurz, in idealistic schemes of racial integration and efforts to reform Democrat-run city machines. His most important work from the period is his remarkable series of reports, full of eyewitness testimony, of the late stages of Reconstruction in the Deep South. His judgement on Reconstruction policies and their effects on racial relations were surprising to his readers and colleagues in the North and controversial at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere are collected: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThe Freedmen of South Carolina: Some Account of their Appearance, Character, Condition, and Customs\u003c\/em\u003e (1863)\u003cem\u003eAmerica for Free Working Men!\u003c\/em\u003e (1865)\u003cem\u003eThe Misgovernment of New York: A Remedy (1871)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Cotton States in the Spring and Summer of 1875\u003c\/em\u003e (1876)\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 374\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.77 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 20, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51751869579552,"sku":"9798869320544","price":30.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/61a20030c5ed6cb568e8cdbed5ce7840.webp?v=1779982381","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/civil-war-and-reconstruction-writings-of-charles-nordhoff-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
