In the long-awaited volume in our illustrious American History Series, Daniel Aldridge presents a critical and analytical study of the many different leaders and organizations, with special attention to the largely unsung ones whom most student readers never hear about, whose efforts eventually overturned the South's legal and extralegal system of racial discrimination known as Jim Crow, radically transforming society in that blacks fully became part of the American nation. Regardless of one's point of view, no one can dispute that African Americans' long but successful quest for civil rights stands as one of the defining elements in United States history.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBecoming American makes ideal reading for courses on the history of the Civil Rights movement as well as a superb supplement to survey courses in African American and United States history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[A] compelling and well-written resource to add to any American history survey course and a thoughtful introduction to a contemporary study of African American history from the Civil War to the mid-1970s.\" (\u003ci\u003eTeaching History\u003c\/i\u003e, Fall 2011)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface and Acknowledgments xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCHAPTER ONE: Emancipation, Reconstruction, and the Origins of the African American Quest for Civil Rights\u003c\/b\u003e 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Civil War and Emancipation\u003c\/i\u003e 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Origins of Reconstruction\u003c\/i\u003e 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRadical Reconstruction\u003c\/i\u003e 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe End of Reconstruction\u003c\/i\u003e 28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAfrican American Responses to the End of Reconstruction\u003c\/i\u003e 35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCHAPTER TWO: The New Black Leadership of the Post-Reconstruction Era, 1890—1910\u003c\/b\u003e 41\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIda B.
