H istory of the United States, Volume 5 by Elisha Benjamin Andrews is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume specifically covers the period of American expansion from 1888 to 1902, delving into critical political, social, and economic developments of the time, including significant events such as presidential campaigns, demographic changes, and the impact of major legislation. The narrative likely highlights the evolution of American governance, societal norms, and its burgeoning role on the international stage. At the start of this volume, Andrews outlines the socio-political climate leading into the late 19th century, focusing on a wave of constitutional reforms aimed at restructuring state laws in the aftermath of the Civil War. He discusses the introduction of the Australian ballot system and its effects on voting practices, as well as the contentious political landscape surrounding the presidential campaigns of Grover Cleveland and Benjamin Harrison. Furthermore, the volume hints at the complex dynamics of race relations in the South, particularly regarding the disenfranchisement of African Americans, setting the stage for exploring the conflicts and transformations that characterized this era asAmerica emerged as a more industrialized and influential nation.R ace war at the South following the abolition of slavery, new social conditions everywhere, and the archaic nature of many provisions in the old laws, induced, as the century drew to a close, a pretty general revision of State constitutions. New England clung to instruments adopted before the civil war, though in most cases considerably amended. New Jersey was equally conservative, as were also Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin. New York adopted in 1894 a new constitution which became operative January 1, 1895. Of the old States beyond the Mississippi only Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota, and Oregon remained content with ante-bellum instruments. Between 1864 and 1866 ten of the southern States inaugurated governments which were not recognized by Congress and had to be reconstructed. Ten of the eleven reconstruction constitutions were in turn overthrown by 1896.
