Abstract

Looks at an important aspect of southern memory: Reconstruction. This book examines what both white and black South Carolinians thought about the history of Reconstruction and how it shaped the way they lived their lives in the first half of the twentieth century. It addresses the dominant white construct of 'the dark days of Reconstruction'.
