The Struggle for Equality: Abolitionists and the Negro in the Civil War and Reconstruction, 10 tomasPrinceton University Press, 1964 - 474 psl. In The Struggle for Equality, the renowned Civil War historian James McPherson offered an important and timely analysis of the abolitionist movement and the legal basis it provided to the civil rights movement of the 1960s. This work remains an incisive demonstration of the successful role played by rights activists during and after the Civil War, when they evolved from despised fanatics into influential spokespersons for the radical wing of the Republican party. |
