Coming for to Carry Me Home - Race in America From Abolitionism to Jim Crow

Informationen zum Autor By J. Michael Martinez Klappentext Coming for to Carry Me Home examines the concept of race in the United States from the 1830s, when the abolitionists rose to prominence, until the 1880s, when the Jim Crow regime commenced. J. Michael Martinez argues that Lincoln and the Radical Republicans were the pivotal actors, albeit not the architects, that influenced this evolution.
