Southern Victory: A Reassessment of Reconstruction presents a detailed evidence-based historical account which introduces new and insightful perspectives about the United States Reconstruction era. The book investigates how the South experienced significant economic development and political changes and social evolution during its most contentious time between the American Civil War and the present. Michael Pangrac conducts a detailed examination of how society transitioned from war destruction to a period when people needed to establish their new identity within their restored country. The book demonstrates how Southern economic recovery and infrastructure rebuilding and labour system modifications and sharecropping and tenant farming development created the actual conditions which determined postwar existence. The study investigates how Reconstruction policies and federal power and state political changes interacted to create new historical understanding which challenges existing historical assumptions. Southern Victory utilises historical documents and primary sources and detailed research to deliver accurate information about Reconstruction's lasting effects on the United States to history enthusiasts and students and researchers and academic readers.
