An excellent source for the Civil War and Reconstruction is the biography, "Grant" written by Historian, Jean Edward Smith. It is an exciting read and goes into great detail about General/President Grant and the Republican radicals struggle against the Demorats and the KKK to bestow equality to the Southern blacks. This past weekend a black minister/author was interviewed on CSPAN has just written a book explaining the Republicans role in obtaining freedom and equality for Southern blacks during reconstruction. The author was amazed by what he found in his research. It's strange that the GOP doesn't inform the public about the radical Republicans during reconstruction.

Most Republican leaders rely for their information on the early history of our Party on books written by Democrat historians.

Why didn't they just concentrate on bestowing equality to Northern blacks?
