In the turbulent years between surrender and reunion, the United States had to reinvent its foundations. These years reshaped the republic. In Reconstruction, Political and Economic, 1865-1877, Volume 22 of The American Nation: A History, William Archibald Dunning offers an account of how power, policy, and principle collided as the nation struggled to define freedom after the Civil War. Moving from Congress to the South, this scholarly historical monograph traces post Civil War politics, reconstruction economic policy, and the evolving balance between federal and state governance that shaped the Union. It situates debates over rights, labour, and citizenship within the wider story of civil war reconstruction history in the United States 1865-1877. Long regarded as a classic of civil war reconstruction history, Dunning's american political history book illuminates the legal battles, party realignments, and regional tensions that marked the United States 1865-1877. Its careful attention to southern states reconstruction era governments and national economic strategy makes it invaluable both as a reconstruction research reference and as a college history textbook for students approaching this complex period for the first time. For readers interested in civil war aftermath studies or the emergence of Gilded Age political history, it offers narrative sweep and interpretive depth, anchoring later debates about race, citizenship, and the limits of democracy. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
