Most accounts of the aftermath of the Civil War deal with what actually happened, or with the attitudes of the defeated southerners. Sawrey (history, Marshall U.) colors in another part of the picture by examining the political opinions in a representative northern state. He finds two issues predominant: the terms of readmission, and the fate of former slaves. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
