Book Reviews of An Absolute Massacre: The New Orleans Race Riot of July 30, 1866
Book Review: A Critical Moment in History
Summary: 5 Stars
Covering a pivitol moment in American history, 'An Absolute Massacre' is the history of the tragic riot that overtook the Louisiana Constitutional Convention of 1866 in which a racist pro-confederate mob attacked loyal African Americans in New Orleans. The event shocked and alarmed the northern public leading to Civil Rights bill of 1866, the sweeping Republican victories in the 1866 elections, Congressional reconstruction, and the 14th Amendment.
The riot began the chain of events that culminated in the constitutional crisis of the following year, the impeachment and trial of Andrew Johnson.
Well researched, well written and well worth reading.
