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. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 647 7 American Civil War|c(United States :|d1861-1865)|2fast |0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1351658 648 7 1865-1950|2fast 648 7 1865-1877|2fast 648 7 19th century|2fast 648 7 1800-1950|2fast 650 0 Reconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877)|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85111862 650 0 Military occupation|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85085246|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00002758|zSouthern States|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85125633-781|xHistory |y19th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006167 650 0 Civil-military relations|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85026352|zSouthern States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85125633-781|xHistory|y19th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006167 650 0 Freed persons|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85051692|zSouthern States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85125633-781|xHistory|y19th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006167 650 0 Social conflict|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85123927|zSouthern States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85125633-781|xHistory|y19th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006167 650 7 Reconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1754987 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1919741 650 7 Military occupation|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1021344 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Military occupation.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1021341 650 7 Civil-military relations.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/862889 650 7 Freed persons.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/933987 650 7 Race relations.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1086509 650 7 Social conflict.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1122378 651 0 Southern States|xPolitics and government|y1865-1950. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85125657 651 0 United States|xPolitics and government|y1865-1877.|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85140443 651 0 United States|xHistory|yCivil War, 1861-1865|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85140205|xOccupied territories.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh00006864 651 0 United States|xHistory|yCivil War, 1861-1865|xPeace. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85140260 651 0 Southern States|xRace relations|xHistory|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010112499|y1865-1950. 651 7 Southern States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1244550 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aDowns, Gregory P.|tAfter Appomattox |z9780674743984|w(DLC) 2014038048|w(OCoLC)893709487 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=986116|zOnline eBook.
