      abstract = {Historians overwhelmingly have blamed the demise of  Reconstruction on Southerners' persistent racism.  Richardson argues instead that class, along with race, was  critical to Reconstruction's end. She reveals a growing  backlash from Northerners against those who believed that  inequalities should be addressed through working-class  action, and the emergence of an American middle class that  championed individual productivity and saw  African-Americans as a threat to their prosperity.},
