SHERIDAN'S SECRET MISSION How the South Won the War After the Civil War

by | Read by Rick Adamson

History • 7.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2024

This audiobook focuses on one of the most contentious and misunderstood periods in American history, the reconstruction of the South after the Civil War. Rick Adamson keeps to a steady, impartial tone, carefully pacing a narrative that unties many historical knots while unfolding a sadly paradoxical series of events. The subtitle tells the tale: "How the South Won the War After the Civil War." President Grant wanted to annex Santo Domingo as a "refuge" for oppressed Blacks but was thwarted. His assignment of a stubby Union general to pacify the Louisiana legislature illustrates how united public opposition can win victories that armies cannot. Adamson is very listenable, and he effectively illuminates a dark passage in American democracy whose effects continue to reverberate today.
