Democracy Reborn: The Fourteenth Amendment and the Fight for Equal Rights in Post-Civil War America Book

Many people speak of the constitution with an air of reverence afforded to few other documents and yet have little understanding or knowledge of the document itself. Among those who have studied the document and its history, the majority know the story of the framers of the constitution and its first ten amendments, but very little about anything after that. Arguably the most important and long-reaching of the amendments to our constitution is the 14th Amendment, and in this book Garrett Epps reveals the history if its founders. Great read that covers an all too little covered subject.
