Book Description
Excerpt from Governor Chamberlain's Administration in South Carolina: A Chapter of Reconstruction in the Southern States This volume is what its title expresses; it is the record of the Administration of Governor Chamberlain in South Carolina, and nothing more. It was undertaken because it was believed that the period covered by it, though brief, had a character and significance making it worthy of study and remembrance. What is called "Reconstruction" was certainly a peculiar phase of our American civil life. It presented new questions, new difficulties, social, political, legal, and constitutional. The result of the overthrow and surrender of the armies of the South was to present at once the novel and perplexing question, how to deal with the civil Governments of the Southern States. The theories put forward at that time seem now, many of them, grotesque, - Mr. Sumner's theory of State suicide not the least so. The question of the legal relation of those States to the Union during and at the close of the war, has not yet passed beyond the line of discussion and controversy. The Supreme Court of the United States has announced the doctrine of "an indestructible Union, composed of indestructible States." Yet, the Reconstruction Acts of 1867 which proceeded on the theory of the destruction of the State Governments of the rebellious States, have been carried into effect and recognized as valid by all branches of the Federal Government. It is not necessary to reconcile conflicting theories. What is plain is that Reconstruction as it proceeded under the Acts of Congress, involved the most serious consequences to all the people of the South.

South Carolina Scalawags
Author: Hyman Rubin IIIPublisher: Univ of South Carolina Press
ISBN: 164336250X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
The first history of the efforts and fates of white Republicans during Reconstruction South Carolina Scalawags tells the familiar story of Reconstruction from a mostly unfamiliar vantage point, that of white southerners who broke ranks and supported the newly recognized rights and freedoms of their black neighbors. The end of the Civil War turned South Carolina's political hierarchy upside down by calling into existence what had not existed before, a South Carolina Republican Party, and putting its members at the helm of state government from 1868 to 1876. Composed primarily of former slaves, the burgeoning party also attracted the membership of newly arrived northern "carpetbaggers" and of white South Carolinians who had lived in the state prior to secession. Known as "scalawags," these South Carolinians numbered as many as ten thousand—fifteen percent of the state's white population—but have remained a maligned and largely misunderstood component of post-Civil War politics. In this first book-length exploration of their egalitarian objectives and short-lived ambitions, Hyman Rubin III resurrects the lives and careers of these individuals who took a leading role during Reconstruction. South Carolina Scalawags delves into the lives of representative white Republicans, exploring their backgrounds, political attitudes and actions, and post-Reconstruction fates. The Republicans succeeded in creating a much more representative and responsive government than the state had seen before or would see for generations. During its heyday the party began to attract wealthier white citizens, many of whom were moderates favoring cooperation between open-minded Democrats and responsible Republicans. In assessing the eventual Republican collapse, Rubin does not gloss over disturbing trends toward factionalism and corruption that increasingly characterized the party's governance. Rather he points to these failings in explaining the federal government's abandonment of the party in 1876 and the Democrats' reassertion of white supremacy.
State of Rebellion

ISBN: 1643362364
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
A chronicle of postwar resistance in the Palmetto State State of Rebellion recounts the volatile course of Reconstruction in the state that experienced the longest, largest, and most dynamic federal presence in the years immediately following the Civil War. Richard Zuczek examines the opposition of conservative white South Carolinians to the Republican-led program and the federal and state governments' attempts to quell such resistance. Contending that the issues that had driven secession—the relationship of the states to the federal government and the status of African Americans—remained unresolved even after Northern victory, Zuczek describes the period from 1865 to 1877 as a continuation of the struggle that began in 1861. He argues that Republican efforts failed primarily because of an organized, coherent effort by white Southerners committed to white supremacy. Zuczek details the tactics—from judicial and political fraud to economic coercion, terrorism, and guerrilla activity—employed by conservatives to nullify the African American vote, control African American labor, and oust northern Republicans from the state. He documents the federal government's attempt to quash the conservative challenge but shows that, by 1876, white opposition was so unified, widespread, and well armed that it passed beyond government control.
