• Black_Reconstruction abstract "Black Reconstruction in America is a history by W. E. B. Du Bois, first published in 1935. Du Bois argued with previous accounts of the Reconstruction era of the South after its defeat in the American Civil War. He based his approach on an economic analysis of classes during Reconstruction and documentation from contemporary records. He noted that Black and White laborers were divided after the Civil War along the lines of race, and did not unite against the white propertied class. He believed this was a failure of Reconstruction, enabling the white Democrats to regain control of state legislatures, pass Jim Crow laws, and disfranchise most blacks and many poor whites in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.Du Bois' historical scholarship and use of primary source data research on the postwar political economy of the former Confederate States’ were ground-breaking.[citation needed] He systematically analyzed the political economy of the Reconstruction period of the southern states, based on data collected during the period. He presented extensive data about the composition of state legislatures, the state budgets, bills passed, and debts accrued and for what purpose. He noted major achievements, such as establishing public education in the South for the first time, founding of charitable institutions to care for all citizens, and investment in public infrastructure. In chapter five, Du Bois argues that the decision by slaves on the southern plantations to stop working during the war was an example of a General Strike. He argues that the Civil War was largely fought over labor issues, with the North supporting free labor.Dubois’ research showed that the post-emancipation South did not degenerate into economic or political chaos. He contrasted the efforts of the elite planter class to retain control and the violence engendered by paramilitary groups trying to suppress black voting and restore white supremacy. He documented that these Reconstruction governments were the first to establish public health departments to promote public health and sanitation, and to combat the spread of epidemic diseases. He noted that after Democrats regained power, they did not change the Reconstruction constitutions for decades. When they did pass laws to impose racial segregation and Jim Crow, they maintained some support of public education, public health and welfare laws, and constitutional principles that benefited more of the citizens.".
