- Black_Reconstruction abstract "Black Reconstruction in America: An Essay Toward a History of the Part Which Black Folk Played in the Attempt to Reconstruct Democracy in America, 1860–1880 is a history by W. E. B. Du Bois, first published in 1935. Du Bois argued with previous accounts of the Reconstruction Era of the South after its defeat in the American Civil War, particularly that of the Dunning School. He based his approach on an economic analysis of classes during Reconstruction and documentation from contemporary records. He noted that Black and White laborers were divided after the Civil War along the lines of race, and did not unite against the white propertied class. He believed this was a failure of Reconstruction that enabled the white Democrats to regain control of state legislatures, pass Jim Crow laws, and disfranchise most blacks and many poor whites in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.Du Bois' extensive use of data and primary source material on the postwar political economy of the former Confederate States is notable, as is the literary style of this 750-page essay. While chapter titles such as "V. The Coming of the Lord" and "VIII. The Transubstantiation of a Poor White" (the Poor White in question being Andrew Johnson) suggest a good deal of poetic license, Du Bois is nevertheless quite systematic in his analysis of the political economy of Reconstruction working with data, speeches, and newspaper articles from the time period. He presents extensive data about the composition of state legislatures, budgets, bills passed, debts accrued, population change, money saved (and lost) in the Freedman's Savings Bank, etc. He notes major achievements, such as establishing public education in the South for the first time, the founding of charitable institutions to care for all citizens, the extension of the vote to the landless Whites, and investment in public infrastructure. He also notes the problem of corruption all across the country (often associated with the railroad) in which nearly all the political groups played a part, though to differing degrees.After three short chapters profiling the black worker, the white worker, and the planter, Du Bois argues in the fourth chapter that the decision gradually taken by slaves on the southern plantations to stop working during the war was an example of a potential general strike force of four million slaves the Southern elite had not reckoned with. The Institution of slavery simply had to soften: "In a certain sense, after the first few months everybody knew that slavery was done with; that no matter who won, the condition of the slave could never be the same after this disaster of war."Du Bois’ research shows that the post-emancipation South did not degenerate into economic or political chaos. State by state in subsequent chapters, he notes the efforts of the elite planter class to retain control and recover property (land, in particular) lost during the war. This, in the ever-present context of violence committed by paramilitary groups, often from the former poor-white overseer class, all throughout the South. These groups often sowed terror in order to repress black organization and suffrage, frightened by the immense power that 4 million voters would have on the shape of the future.He documents the creation of public health departments to promote public health and sanitation, and to combat the spread of epidemics during the Reconstruction period. Against the claim that the Radical Republicans had done a poor job at the constitutional conventions and during the first decade of Reconstruction, Du Bois observes that after the Democrats regained power in 1876, they did not change the Reconstruction constitutions for nearly a quarter century. When the Democrats did pass laws to impose racial segregation and Jim Crow, they maintained some support of public education, public health and welfare laws, along with the constitutional principles that benefited the citizens as a whole.".
