Summary | "Contemporary American History, 1877-1913" by Charles A. Beard is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of American history during a transformative period marked by the aftereffects of the Civil War, the rise of industrialization, and the socio-political dynamics that shaped modern America. Beard's work seeks to fill a gap in existing texts by presenting significant political issues and developments through an accessible narrative. The opening of the volume sets the stage by highlighting the political climate following President Hayes' inauguration in 1877, emphasizing the waning influence of Republican leadership in the South and the increasing power of conservative white Democrats. The narrative introduces themes of disenfranchisement, particularly focusing on the systematic efforts to undermine the political rights of African Americans in the post-Reconstruction South through intimidation and legal restrictions. Beard underscores the conclusion that, following the withdrawal of Federal troops, the restoration of white dominance became evident as southern states began enacting measures that effectively denied the freedmen their rights.
