The remarkable technological and commercial transformations of the mid-nineteenth century--in particular, steam engines, telegraphs, and an expanded commercial printing capacity--created a constant stream of news, description, and storytelling from across and beyond the nation. Reconstruction's partisans contended with each other to make sense of this information, motivated by intense political antagonism combined with a shared but contested set of ideas about freedom and progress. As writers, lecturers, editors, travelers, moral reformers, racists, abolitionists, politicians, suffragists, soldiers, and diplomats, Reconstruction's partisans made competing claims about their place in the world. Understanding how, why, and when they did so helps ground our understanding of Reconstruction--itself a mysterious, transatlantic term--in its own intellectual context"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Reconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877) 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1865-1877. 830 0 $a Conflicting worlds 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502013901.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317013250.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F29F22E2471C11EA8C4E586797128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
