Summary
This volume of Woodrow Wilson’s history turns to the closing phase of the Civil War and the first problems of Reconstruction. It examines Lincoln’s amnesty and restoration policy for the seceded states, Johnson’s succession, and the growing conflict with Congress over whether those states were to return at once or only after further guarantees, including the permanent freedom and education of formerly enslaved people.
