Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Political History of the United States of America, During the Period of Reconstruction (From April 15, 1865, to July 15, 1870): Including a Classified Summary of the Legislation of the Thirty-Ninth, Fortieth, and Forty-First Congresses, With the Votes Thereon This volume takes up the thread where it was dropped by that on the Re bellion, and it is naturally a companion to it. That gives the record of the steps by which Secession was accomplished and Disunion attempted, as well as of those by which Secession was resisted and Disunion defeated. This gives the equally portentous record of the means by which, the War over, the Govern ment and people of the United States reaped its fruits, and especially the memorable steps by which four millions of slaves, formerly knows as chattels, became incorporated, first into the civil, and next into the political, body. In the various votes given, the names of Republicans are printed in Roman, of Democrats, and of those who generally cc-operated with them, in italic.
