The United States Since the Civil War by Charles Ramsdell Lingley
"The United States Since the Civil War" by Charles Ramsdell Lingley is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work examines the complexities and developments in American society, politics, and economy from the end of the Civil War through the early 20th century. In this account, Lingley focuses on the challenges of Reconstruction, the shifting dynamics in post-war America, and the relationships between various political factions, laying a foundation
for understanding contemporary American issues. The opening of the book introduces the tumultuous period immediately following the Civil War, highlighting the contrasting approaches of Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson toward the Reconstruction of the South. While Lincoln advocated for leniency and reconciliation, Johnson took a harsher stance that alienated many in Congress and deepened divisions among Northern politicians. The text delves into the complicated landscape of post-war America, addressing the social, economic, and political upheavals that influenced the re-integration of Southern states and the status of freed African Americans. Lingley's meticulous analysis sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of America's tumultuous path toward unity and reform, demonstrating how the era shaped modern American society.
