Retreat from Reconstruction is a clarifying, comprehensive analysis of the course of Reconstruction during the 1870s, a decade that provided the true test for the political programs of the Republicans. This award-winning study interweaves events in the South with the political developments in the North that eventually brought about the withdrawal of support from the program.
