520 2  "The Civil War did not end at Appomattox Court House. Nor 
       did it end at the surrenders that followed in North 
       Carolina, Texas, and Indian Country. The Civil War dragged
       on for at least five years after Robert E. Lee surrendered
       to Ulysses S. Grant in April 1865. In the first large-
       scale examination of the post-Civil War occupation, this 
       book offers a rethinking of Reconstruction, the end of the
       Civil War, and the United States' history of occupation. 
       The Civil War could not end, because slavery had not yet 
       ended. Freedpeople held in bondage throughout the South 
       taught soldiers that it would take military force to crush
       the institution of slavery. To create reliable rights on 
       the ground and to stave off planters' efforts to restore 
       their power, the United States launched an expansive, 
       aggressive, little-understood occupation of the rebel 
       states, granting the Army power to overturn laws, appoint 
       new officials, conduct military trials, and ignore writs 
       of habeas corpus. Yet relying on occupation posed dilemmas
       for the United States. Isolated in small outposts, the 
       Army could regulate only what it could see. In large no-
       man's lands, a series of insurgencies and partisan 
       conflicts arose; much of the South fell into near-anarchy.
       Maintaining an occupation created political problems as 
       well, as northern voters urged Congress to cut spending 
       and send troops home. This book describes a Civil War that
       could not quite end, a peace that could not quite be 
       achieved, and a resolution that continues to shape 
       American life"--Provided by publisher.
