Description

Ordinary people do not experience history as it is taught by historians.

They live across the convenient chronological divides we impose on the past.

The same people who lived through the Civil War and the eradication of slavery also dealt with the hardships of Reconstruction, so why do we almost always treat them separately?

In this groundbreaking new book, the renowned historian Thomas C.

Holt challenges this convention to tell the story of generations of African Americans through the lived experience of the subjects themselves, with all of the nuances, ironies, contradictions, and complexities one might expect.
