The War after the War

The War after the War provides a compelling overview of the fierce political and racial battles that erupted in the South following the Civil War, focusing on a conflict within the broader American Civil War era. It explores how biracial coalitions fought to rebuild Southern governments amid violent white supremacist opposition, with the struggle ultimately ending in the victory of insurrectionary forces.
