Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"In this fascinating study of New York, and the nation, Quigley sets the story of the Reconstruction struggle over democracy against a riveting, crucial backdrop: the streets of Manhattan." --Jill Lepore, Harvard University

"Second Founding is an elegantly written, important piece of scholarship that is sure to be widely read and praised. Quigley offers fascinating insights into New York City's history in the Civil War years and demonstrates the city's central place in the national debates on race and class that shaped the post-war era." --Tyler Anbinder, author of Five Points: The Nineteenth-Century New York City Neighborhood That Invented Tap Dance, Stole Elections and Became the Worlds Most Notorious Slum

Reseña del editor:

Retraces New York City's rich political heritage, arguing that the city's political and social structures resisted Reconstruction in the aftermath of the Civil War, covering Tammany Democrats, black activists, reformers, suffragettes, trade unionists, and other political players. Reprint.
