The Reconstruction of Edward A. Pollard: A Rebel's Conversion to Postbellum Unionism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780807868805)

Edward A. Pollard of Virginia was one of the ablest journalists of his time. Until 1867, he was a fierce defender of southern institutions, but during 1867-68 he was converted into a free-labor unionist and eventually became one of the most advanced of reconstructed" southern conservatives. Maddex shows how Pollard came to accept the surrender of the old order to the new by reconstructing a past for the Old South that would be consistent philosphically with postwar realities.
