Uncivil War

Five New Orleans Street Battles and the Rise and Fall of Radical Reconstruction

By: James K. Hogue

Uncivil War reveals that the long-term military impact of the South's occupation included twenty-five years of crippled War Department budgets inflicted by southern congressmen who feared another Reconstruction. Within Louisiana, the biracial Republican militias were dismantled, leaving blacks largely unarmed against future atrocities; at the same time, the nucleus of the state's White Leagues became the Louisiana National Guard, which defended the Redeemer government's repressive labor policies. White supremacist victory cast its shadow over American race relations for almost a century. Movin.

Spook

By: James H. Smith IV

Spook By: James H. Smith IV When Paulie Drake, a vibrant and generous, smart little girl, moves with her family to Sanhedrin, her father Vernon plans to build them a better life—literally—as an architect employed by one of the country’s freedmen’s towns looking to expand during a time of prosperity. Yes, life in Sanhedrin will surely be better for her and her family. But this notion of a better life shatters when Paulie finds herself the victim of a witch’s curse—one that threatens the peace and well-being of the town of Sanhedrin, and all the people in it. Can she break the curse, or will darkness consume her and the town?
