Reconstruction Politics in a Deep South State

“I enjoyed reading this detailed, informative, and lively account of Alabama’s Reconstruction saga. Rogers’s dedication shows." —Ben H. Severance, author of A War State All Over: Alabama Politics and the Confederate Cause

"William Warren Rogers Jr. has redeemed a critical period of Alabama history too long distorted by racist Bourbon mythology. Prodigiously researched, nicely paced, and evenly balanced, "Reconstruction Politics in a Deep South State" is a landmark study." —John S. Sledge, author The Mobile River, These Rugged Days: Alabama in the Civil War, and The Gulf of Mexico: A Maritime History
