Nor did it end at the surrenders that followed in North Carolina, Texas, and Indian Country. The Civil War dragged on for at least five years after Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant in April 1865. In the first large-scale examination of the post-Civil War occupation, this book offers a rethinking of Reconstruction, the end of the Civil War, and the United States' history of occupation. The Civil War could not end, because slavery had not yet ended. Freedpeople held in bondage throughout the South taught soldiers that it would take military force to crush the institution of slavery. To create reliable rights on the ground and to stave off planters' efforts to restore their power, the United States launched an expansive, aggressive, little-understood occupation of the rebel states, granting the Army power to overturn laws, appoint new officials, conduct military trials, and ignore writs of habeas corpus. Yet relying on occupation posed dilemmas for the United States. Isolated in small outposts, the Army could regulate only what it could see. In large no-man's lands, a series of insurgencies and partisan conflicts arose; much of the South fell into near-anarchy. Maintaining an occupation created political problems as well, as northern voters urged Congress to cut spending and send troops home. This book describes a Civil War that could not quite end, a peace that could not quite be achieved, and a resolution that continues to shape American life"--Provided by publisher. 000745631 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000745631 650_0 $$aReconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877) 000745631 650_0 $$aMilitary occupation$$xSocial aspects$$zSouthern States$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000745631 650_0 $$aCivil-military relations$$zSouthern States$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000745631 650_0 $$aFreedmen$$zSouthern States$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000745631 650_0 $$aSocial conflict$$zSouthern States$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000745631 651_0 $$aSouthern States$$xPolitics and government$$y1865-1950. 000745631 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government$$y1865-1877. 000745631 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xHistory$$yCivil War, 1861-1865$$xOccupied territories. 000745631 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xHistory$$yCivil War, 1861-1865$$xPeace. 000745631 651_0 $$aSouthern States$$xRace relations$$xHistory$$y1865-1950. 000745631 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aDowns, Gregory P.$$tAfter Appomattox : military occupation and the ends of war.$$dCambridge, Massachusetts : Harvard University Press, 2015$$z9780674743984$$w(DLC) 2014038048$$w(OCoLC)893709487 000745631 852__ $$bacq 000745631 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000745631 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3301625$$zOnline Access 000745631 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:745631$$pGLOBAL_SET 000745631 980__ $$aEBOOK 000745631 980__ $$aBIB 000745631 982__ $$aEbook 000745631 983__ $$aOnline
