A groundbreaking, expansive new account of Reconstruction that fundamentally alters our view of this formative period in American history.
In The Rise and Fall of the Second American Republic, acclaimed historian Manisha Sinha expands our view beyond the accepted temporal and spatial bounds of Reconstruction, which is customarily said to have begun in 1865 with the end of the war, and to have come to a close when the "corrupt bargain" of 1877 put Rutherford B. Hayes in the White House in exchange for the fall of the last southern Reconstruction state governments. Sinha's startlingly original account opens in 1860 with the election of Abraham Lincoln that triggered the secession of the Deep South states, and takes us all the way to 1920 and the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, which granted women the right to vote-and which Sinha calls the "last Reconstruction amendment."
A sweeping narrative that remakes our understanding of perhaps the most consequential period in American history, The Rise and Fall of the Second American Republic shows how the great contest of that age is also the great contest of our age-and serves as a necessary reminder of how young and fragile our democracy truly is.
