Requirements: ePUB Reader, 1.4MB
Overview: An unprecedented account of one of the bloodiest and most significant racial clashes in American history.
In May 1866, just a year after the Civil War ended, Memphis erupted in a three-day spasm of racial violence that saw whites rampage through the city’s black neighborhoods. By the time the fires consuming black churches and schools were put out, forty-six freed people had been murdered. Congress, furious at this and other evidence of white resistance in the conquered South, launched what is now called Radical Reconstruction, policies to ensure the freedom of the region’s four million blacks and one of the most remarkable experiments in American history.
