Eric Foner’s Reconstruction was pretty foundational in how I see american politics. I had to refrain from throwing it against the wall a few times at the incredible sense, well meaning northerners coming south and scratching their heads at why the freedmen didn’t want to participate in a wage labor system especially when there was very little cash to go around. Gosh, these people just want to tend their own crops and be left alone. We can’t have that now can we?

I have three books that come to mind right away as those that were the foundation of my politics. Wondering if you all have similar books: 1) The Discoverers by Daniel Boorstin 2) The Prize by Daniel Yergin 3) Reconstruction by Eric Foner
