Trade Review
"This is a very interesting and useful study." -The American Journal of Legal History "This is the best, if not definitive study of this ... topic." -East Texas Historical Association "Belz has drawn together a vast amount of research to offer a scholarly yet readable account of the Republican's party drive to fashion a 'civil rights policy that rested on settled constitutional principles and was intended to guarantee American citizenship and equality before the law to the freed slave population... [T]he reader is presented a clear, well-thought-out account of the republican party's commitment to a civil rights scheme based on full equality for blacks in the aftermath of Appomattox." -Library Journal
