West from Appomattox
The Reconstruction of America after the Civil War
Book • 2007
This book expands the traditional narrative of Reconstruction by incorporating the roles of the North and West, alongside the South.
It explores how the late nineteenth century defined modern America, particularly in the formation of a national identity and the creation of the American middle class.
The book delves into the ideology that celebrated individualism while leveraging government support, and it highlights significant people and events that shaped this era.
Richardson's work makes a larger argument about the creation of an American mindset that has influenced politics since 1900 and continues to do so today.
