Kirwan (read 26 Apr 1995) This book tell of Mississippi politics from 1875 to 1925 in rather straightforward style, almost as if only someone in Mississippi would be interested. The book makes numerous interesting points, including that there was more corruption when the Redeemers were running Mississippi than there was during Black Reconstruction. The blatant anti-Negro attitudes of most white Mississippi people is so deplorable. Vardaman's rhetoric on the issue is unbelievable today, though I have known of it. This was a good book, altho its age shows. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
