| Summary: | "Reforging the White Republic winds and twists through a wide array of venues and media to document how figures from Harriet Beecher Stowe to Frederick Douglass either supported or tried to resist the retreat from Reconstruction. Magazines, personal diaries, sermons, hymns, travelogues, Supreme Court opinions, and political caricatures illustrate religious ideologies at play in virtually every aspect of the larger culture. A blend of history and social science, the book offers a surprising perspective on the forces of religion as well as nationalism and imperialism at a critical point in American history."--BOOK JACKET. |
