Rethinking the Judicial Settlement of Reconstruction: Cambridge Studies on the American Constitution

Book Description

The book "Rethinking the Judicial Settlement of Reconstruction: Cambridge Studies on the American Constitution" offers a fresh and critical examination of the judicial settlement of Reconstruction. This period in American history, following the Civil War, was marked by significant political, social, and economic changes, including the adoption of the Reconstruction amendments and the efforts to secure civil rights for African Americans.

The book argues that the judicial settlement of Reconstruction was a complex and contested process, shaped by a variety of factors, including the political climate, the ideological commitments of the justices, and the social and economic conditions of the time. The book also examines the long-term impact of the judicial settlement on American law and society.
