The problem with this work is that the main evidence presented, a detailed examination of the congressional record on each of these issues, is only tangentially related to the thesis. The sections on emancipation do serve to confirm the fact that only a small minority of even northern Republicans believed in racial equality and that even full emancipation was controversial. The economic legislation seems to have been more stumbled into than it resulted from a coherent political philosophy. Currey would have been better off taking a wider view. But having spent the considerable effort in reading the minutia of congressional record he was bent on presenting it.
If you are interested in the topic, I would recommend getting the book from the library and reading the concluding chapter. ( )
