Book Reviews of the The Day Freedom Died: The Colfax Massacre, the Supreme Court, and the Betrayal of Reconstruction
Customer Review: overall good,but...
Summary: 4 Stars
The topic was well covered in an interesting and informative manner, I learned a great deal about a period in American history you won't learn in school. The book was well written, interesting and thought provoking. However it was slanted. When the republicans maneuvered to remove democrats from office, they were trying to be just, regardless of the legality of their moves (ie trying to impeach the governor, overturning election results, etc.) whereas the democrats involved in the same actions were crucified. Granted by modern standards, the republicans were more politically correct, but the legality of many of the moves was just as suspect and not truly treated as such. History always has a side, and is written to communicate that side, this is fine, but it must be recognized.
