The Day Freedom Died: The Colfax Massacre, the Supreme Court, and the Betrayal of Reconstruction by Charles J. Dunning is a historical book that explores one of the darkest moments in American history - the Colfax Massacre, which occurred on April 13, 1873, when more than 100 African Americans were killed by white supremacists in Louisiana. The book examines how this event was a turning point in the Reconstruction era, marking the end of the brief period of racial equality and justice that followed the Civil War and paving the way for Jim Crow laws and systemic racism that would persist for generations. The book begins with an overview of the Reconstruction era, highlighting the hopes and dreams of newly freed slaves who sought to build a better future for themselves and their families. It then delves into the events leading up to the massacre, including the rise of white supremacist groups like the Ku Klux Klan and the failure of the federal government to protect the rights of African Americans. The author describes the massacre itself, detailing the brutality and senseless violence that took place at the courthouse in Colfax, Louisiana, where a group of African Americans had gathered to defend their rights against a mob of white supremacists. After the massacre, the book explores the aftermath and the impact it had on the survivors, their families, and the broader African American community.
The Day Freedom Died: The Colfax Massacre, the Supreme Court, and the Betrayal of Reconstruction by Charles J. Dunning - историческая книга, в которой исследуется один из самых мрачных моментов американской истории - бойня в Колфаксе, произошедшая 13 апреля 1873 года, когда более 100 афроамериканцев были убиты сторонниками превосходства белой расы в Луизиане В книге рассматривается, как это событие стало поворотным моментом в эру Реконструкции, ознаменовав конец краткого периода расового равенства и справедливости, последовавшего за Гражданской войной, и проложив путь для законов Джима Кроу и системного расизма, которые сохранялись бы на протяжении поколений. Книга начинается с обзора эпохи Реконструкции, освещая надежды и мечты вновь освобождённых рабов, которые стремились построить лучшее будущее для себя и своих семей. Затем он углубляется в события, приведшие к резне, в том числе в рост белых супремасистских групп, таких как Ку-клукс-клан, и неспособность федерального правительства защитить права афроамериканцев. Автор описывает саму бойню, подробно описывая жестокость и бессмысленное насилие, имевшее место у здания суда в Колфаксе, штат Луизиана, где группа афроамериканцев собралась, чтобы защитить свои права против толпы сторонников превосходства белой расы. После бойни книга исследует последствия и влияние, которое она оказала на выживших, их семьи и более широкую афроамериканскую общину.
The Day Freedom Died: The Colfax Massacre, the Supreme Court, and the Betrayal of Reconstruction by Charles J. Dunning - un libro storico che esamina uno dei momenti più oscuri della storia americana - il massacro di Kolfax, avvenuto il 13 aprile 1873, quando più di 100 afroamericani furono uccisi da sostenitori della supremazia della razza bianca in Louisiana. Come questo evento sia stato un punto di svolta nell'era della Ricostruzione, segnando la fine di un breve periodo di uguaglianza razziale e giustizia, dopo la Guerra Civile, e aprendo la strada alle leggi di Jim Crowe e al razzismo sistemico che perdurerebbero per generazioni. Il libro inizia con una panoramica dell'epoca della Ricostruzione, ripercorrendo le speranze e i sogni degli schiavi appena liberati che cercavano di costruire un futuro migliore per se stessi e per le loro famiglie. Poi si approfondisce sugli eventi che hanno portato al massacro, tra cui la crescita di gruppi supremassisti bianchi, come il Ku Klux Klan, e l'incapacità del governo federale di proteggere i diritti degli afroamericani. L'autore descrive il massacro stesso, descrivendo in dettaglio la brutalità e l'inutile violenza che si è verificata davanti al tribunale di Colfax, in Louisiana, dove un gruppo di afroamericani si è riunito per difendere i propri diritti contro una folla di sostenitori della supremazia della razza bianca. Dopo il massacro, il libro esplora le conseguenze e l'impatto che ha avuto sui sopravvissuti, le loro famiglie e la comunità afroamericana più ampia.
