The American Civil War: A Racial Reckoning provides a concise but comprehensive overview of the American Civil War, placing race at the center of the war and Reconstruction experience. The book discusses the sectional crisis and the expansion of slavery into new territories as precipitating events that led many Americans to see slavery as the most important issue facing the nation. Political developments and the military struggle are addressed in detail as well as the dramatic social and political changes that occurred as slavery and plantation societies crumbled. The author addresses the creation of Confederate monuments, the denial of the centrality of slavery in the conflict, and other efforts to redeem and memorialize the Confederacy as key components of the Lost Cause, as well as enduring reminders that the issues of white supremacy and racial inequality have yet to be resolved. Placing the Civil War and Reconstruction into the context of the nation’s continuing struggle for true equality, this text provides students with a thoughtful analysis of the war’s long-term impacts. An array of primary documents supports the text, together with a Chronology, Glossary, and Who's Who guide to key figures. This book will be of interest to students of the Civil War and those on more general American history courses.

Rather than focusing on Virginia’s political leaders, Virginia On My Mind: 400 Years of History surveys the broad landscape of the state’s past. It chronicles Virginians’ efforts to attain economic success and individual liberty with particular emphasis on commercial agriculture, African slavery, and the quest for racial equality.The text is divided into four parts. Part I covers the period from the first European encounters in North America through the ratification of the Constitution and discusses British, Native American, and American colonial objectives in the new world, as well as the growth of tobacco culture. Part II examines how the concept of “all men are created equal” failed in Virginia despite the leadership of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and John Marshall and how the idealism of the Revolution fell victim to partisan politics and deeply ingrained prejudices. Part III analyzes the experience of modern warfare in Virginia, highlighting the impact of “hard war” on civilians and soldiers. The final part traces the evolution of race relations from Booker T. Washington’s Atlanta Compromise speech through the Great Depression and Civil Rights Movement to the present. The Federal government’s expanding role in the state also receives significant attention. Virginia On My Mind provides students with a broad view of Virginia history from the settlement of Jamestown to the present. It was designed for history students and for those who plan to become classroom teachers. Virginia’s K-12 Standards of Learning were taken into consideration in the design of the text and are broken out by chapter in an appendix.
