{"product_id":"redemption-the-last-battle-of-the-civil-war","title":"Redemption: The Last Battle of the Civil War","description":"\"An arresting piece of popular history.\" ―Sean Wilentz, The New York Times Book Review\n\nNicholas Lemann opens this extraordinary book with a riveting account of the horrific events of Easter 1873 in Colfax, Louisiana, where a white militia of Confederate veterans-turned-vigilantes attacked the black community there and massacred hundreds of people in a gruesome killing spree. This began an insurgency that changed the course of American history: for the next few years white Southern Democrats waged a campaign of political terrorism aiming to overturn the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and challenge President Grant's support for the emergent structures of black political power. Redemption is the first book to describe in uncompromising detail this organized racial violence, which reached its apogee in Mississippi in 1875.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0374530696\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0374530696.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lemann, Nicholas\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
