| Summary |
"Reconstruction in Louisiana after 1868" by Ella Lonn is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the tumultuous years of Reconstruction in Louisiana following the Civil War, with a focus on the political, social, and economic challenges faced during this transformative period. It examines the role of various actors, including political leaders and newly enfranchised citizens, as they navigated the complexities of post-war governance and societal integration. The opening of the book provides a comprehensive overview of the tumultuous Reconstruction era beginning in Louisiana. It details the political fragmentation and struggles for power that characterized the state, highlighting the early governance attempts under military rule and the strained relationship between newly appointed officials and the local populace. The narrative outlines significant events, such as elections, legislative actions, and the contentious debates surrounding race and governance. Lonn sets the stage for an in-depth analysis of how Louisiana sought to re-establish order and legitimacy amidst rampant corruption and political discord, foreshadowing the challenges and conflicts that would unfold as Reconstruction progressed.
