Sample Book Insights:
#1 The road to atonement for America’s sin was not just the end of slavery, but also the full citizenship and rights of African Americans.
#2 Lincoln had shown his hand early in the war. He had selected Chiriquí, a resource-poor area in what is now Panama, as the new home for millions of African Americans. He just needed to convince them to leave.
#3 Lincoln’s lack of clarity about the purpose and cause of the war stemmed from his desire to shroud the reality of slavery under the guise of preserving the Union.
#4 The drive to be free meant that 179,000 soldiers, 10 percent of the Union Army, was African American. The military service of these men needed to carry with it citizenship rights and the dignity that comes from no longer being defined as property or legally inferior.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The road to atonement for America’s sin was not just the end of slavery, but also the full citizenship and rights of African Americans.

#2

Lincoln had shown his hand early in the war. He had selected Chiriquí, a resource-poor area in what is now Panama, as the new home for millions of African Americans. He just needed to convince them to leave.

#3

Lincoln’s lack of clarity about the purpose and cause of the war stemmed from his desire to shroud the reality of slavery under the guise of preserving the Union.

#4

The drive to be free meant that 179,000 soldiers, 10 percent of the Union Army, was African American. The military service of these men needed to carry with it citizenship rights and the dignity that comes from no longer being defined as property or legally inferior.

#5

Lincoln’s plan for Reconstruction required the rebel states to adopt the Thirteenth Amendment and have 10 percent of eligible voters swear loyalty to the United States. However, suffrage was a glaring omission in Lincoln’s vision for Reconstruction.

#6

Andrew Johnson, who became president after Lincoln was assassinated, pardoned hundreds of former Confederates within weeks of taking office. He also extended clemency to plantation owners, despite his decades-long resentment against and vilification of the damnable aristocracy.

#7

While the Freedmen’s Bureau was created to help the freedmen, President Johnson immediately rescinded the order that had authorized the lease of abandoned plantation land to them. Instead, he ordered the army to throw tens of thousands of freedpeople off the land and reinstate the plantation owners.

#8

The president’s pardons had the desired effect. The new congressional delegations looked hauntingly like those from the Old South: CSA vice president Stephens and cabinet officers, as well as ten Confederate generals, a number of colonels, and nearly sixty Confederate Congress representatives.

#9

In this reconstruction of the Reconstruction, with the reassertion of Dred Scott, the exclusion of blacks from the ballot box, and the rescission of forty acres and a mule, African Americans now had neither citizenship, the vote, nor land.

#10

The Black Codes were a series of laws targeted and applicable only to African Americans that undercut any chance or hope for civil rights, economic independence, or even the reestablishment of families that had been ripped apart by slavery.

#11

The Black Codes were a result of the violence and brutality that was unleashed on the newly freed. They were meant to force them to work, which would prevent them from becoming a burden on society.

#12

Andrew Johnson’
