Book Overview

""Why The Solid South? Or Reconstruction And Its Results"" is a historical non-fiction book written by Hilary A. Herbert. The book explores the reasons behind the ""Solid South"" phenomenon, which refers to the overwhelming support of the Democratic Party in the southern United States after Reconstruction. The author delves into the history of Reconstruction, which was a period of rebuilding and reuniting the country after the Civil War. Herbert examines the policies and actions of the Republican Party during this time, as well as the reactions of the southern population. He also analyzes the effects of Reconstruction on the South, including the emergence of Jim Crow laws and the disenfranchisement of African Americans. Through his research and analysis, Herbert offers insights into the complex political and social factors that contributed to the Solid South and its lasting impact on American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
