No Customer Reviews
Conway traces the evolution of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments that abolished slavery and gave African-American males citizenship in 1865. From their roots in the history of slavery through the controversial 1857 U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Dred Scott case through the bloody battles of the American Civil War, Conway carries the reader on a step-by-step journey and provides context that surrounds these vital, important and fundamental amendments. Conway's comprehensive book goes beyond the amendments' ratification and gives the reader a history of how these amendments have been interpreted over time by society and the legal community and how they've been used as a foundation for extending the rights of African Americans and other minorities.
