A gripping look at terrorist violence during the Reconstruction era
Between 1867, when the defeated South was forced to establish new state governments that fully represented both black and white citizens, and 1877, when the last of these governments was overthrown, more than three thousand African Americans and their white allies were killed by terrorist violence. Drawing on original letters and diaries as well as published racist diatribes of the time, acclaimed historian Stephen Budiansky concentrates his vivid, fast paced narrative on the efforts of five heroic men-two Union officers, a Confederate general, a Northern entrepreneur, and a former slave-who showed remarkable idealism and courage as they struggled to establish a 'New South' in the face of overwhelming hatred and organized resistance. The Bloody Shirt sheds new light on the violence, racism, division, and heroism of Reconstruction, a largely forgotten but epochal chapter in American history.

reviewed The Bloody Shirt: Terror After the Civil War on May 16, 2009 The Bloody Shirt: Terror After the Civil War
I, as a school teacher, believe that this book and it's subject should be required reading for all high school students. It is about the terrorism that the blacks and their supports faced in the South after the Civil War.
This book covers the history that is not taught in our schools in the United States. It deals with the fact that the South did not go quietly compliant after the Civil War and accept defeat. This is the ugly side of our history that our country wants to ignore and to forget, the so called 'elephant sitting in the middle of the room'.
I highly recommend this book. It opened my eyes to many things that I did not know.
