"Since the civil rights era of the 1960s, revisionist historians have been sympathetic to the racial justice motivations of the Radical Republican Reconstruction policies that followed the Civil War. But this emphasis on positive goals and accomplishments has obscured the role of the Republicans in the overthrow of their own program. Rich with insight, Michael W. Fitzgerald's new interpretation of Reconstruction shows how the internal dy ..."
Urban Emancipation Popular Politics in Reconstruction Mobile, 1860--1890 by MichaelW. Fitzgerald Paperback, 320 Pages, Published 2002 by Lsu Press ISBN-13: 978-0-8071-2837-4, ISBN: 0-8071-2837-6
"Scholars of Reconstruction have generally described Republican Party factional conflicts in racial terms, as if the Radical agenda evoked unified black support. As Michael W. Fitzgerald shows in the first major study of black popular politics in the urban South in the years surrounding the Civil War, that depiction oversimplifies a contentious and often overlooked intraracial dynamic. Republican political power, he argues, heightened ..."

Much of this revisionist work served to counter and correct the racist and pro-Confederate accounts of Reconstruction written in the early twentieth century. While there have been modern scholarly revisions of individual ..."

"Led by a coalition of blacks and whites with funding from congressional radicals, the Union League was a secret society whose express purpose was to bring freedmen into the political arena after the Civil War. Angry and resentful of the lingering vestiges of the plantation system, freedmen responded to the League’s appeals with alacrity, and hundreds of thousands joined local chapters, speaking and acting collectively to undermine the r ..."
"Much of the current reassessment of race, culture, and criminal justice in the nineteenth-century South has been based on intensive community studies. Drawing on previously untapped sources, the nine original papers collected here represent some of the best new work on how racial justice can be shaped by the particulars of time and place.Although each essay is anchored in the local, several important larger themes emerge across the volu ..."

"Every dictatorship requires a justification, either historical or moral, and Hitler rooted his in antiscientific mumbo-jumbo, Wagnerian legend, and Satanism. This chilling investigation reveals that Hitler consulted Nostradamus before making key military decisions; that the Thulists, a sect that practiced human sacrifice and sexual perversions, founded the German Workers Party; and that black masses were conducted for elite SS corps at ..."
"Nazi Germany was driven by a desire to dominate the world and create a new master race.

Under the Nazis, conventional science and a range of fringes sciences were legitimate areas for research and development. Unorthodox ideas and projects that were too outrageous for other governments received funding. On th ..."
