Bluecoats and Tar Heels : Soldiers and Civilians in Reconstruction North Carolina, Hardback Book

Bluecoats and Tar Heels : Soldiers and Civilians in Reconstruction North Carolina Hardback

Part of the New Directions in Southern History series

Hardback

Description

In Bluecoats and Tar Heels: Soldiers and Civilians in Reconstruction North Carolina, Mark L.

Bradley examines the complex relationship between U.S.

Army soldiers and North Carolina civilians after the Civil War.

Postwar violence and political instability led the federal government to deploy elements of the U.S.

Army in the Tar Heel State, but their twelve-year occupation was marked by uneven success: it proved more adept at conciliating white ex-Confederates than at protecting the civil and political rights of black Carolinians. Bluecoats and Tar Heels is the first book to focus on the army's role as post-bellum conciliator, providing readers the opportunity to discover a rich but neglected chapter in Reconstruction history.
