If The Thirteenth Amendment Abolished It In 1865, Why Did Most Of The Disputed Points During The Reconstruction Debates Of 186675 Concern Issues Of Slavery? In This Book Pamela Brandwein Examines The Postcivil War Struggle Between Competing Political And Legal Interpretations Of Slavery And Reconstruction To Reveal How Accepted Historical Truth Was Established.Delving Into The Circumstances, Assumptions, And Rhetoric That Shaped The Official Story Of Reconstruction, Brandwein Describes Precisely How A Dominant Interpretation Of Events Ultimately Emerged And What Its Implications Have Been For Twentiethcentury Judicial Decisions, Particularly For Supreme Court Rulings On Civil Rights. While Analyzing Interpretive Disputes About Slavery, Brandwein Offers A Detailed Rescoring Of Postcivil War Legislative And Constitutional History, Including Analysis Of The Original Understanding Of The Fourteenth Amendment. She Identifies The Perspectives On Reconstruction That Were Endorsed Or Rejected By The Supreme Court. Explaining What It Meanttheoretically And Practicallyto Resolve Reconstruction Debates With A Particular Definition Of Slavery, Brandwein Recounts How The Northern Democratic Definition Of Ending Slavery Was Not The Only Definition, Just The One That Prevailed. Using A Familiar Historical Moment To Do New Interpretive Work, She Outlines A Sociology Of Constitutional Law, Showing How Subjective Narrative Construction Can Solidify Into Opaque Institutional Memory.
