D ennis P atrick H alpin . A Brotherhood of Liberty
Dennis Patrick Halpin’s book A Brotherhood of Liberty: Black Reconstruction and Its Legacies in Baltimore, 1865–1920 complements the scholarship on Black activism after the Civil War. Similar to recent studies that emphasize the continuity of African American political struggles, A Brotherhood of Liberty highlights the persistence of activism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Particularly attentive to “legal challenges to segreg…

There are surprisingly few works on the ideological origins of Reconstruction. To be sure, historians have produced sophisticated studies on the origins of black politics in the Reconstruction era, and much attention has been devoted to the ideological origins of abolitionism, to say nothing of the vast literature on the origins of the Civil War. But Rebecca E. Zietlow’s short book The Forgotten Emancipator: James Mitchell Ashley and the Ideologi…

This well-known story typically begins with William Dunning and his students, who crafted a professional and white supremacist interpretation of Reconstruction in the early twentieth century. It then shifts to 1960s revisionists, who emphasized the accomplishments of southern Republican governments, and then to the postrevisionists, wh…
The "Colored Hero" of Harper's Ferry
John Anthony Copeland was one of five black men who joined John Brown in his famous armed attack at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, in 1859. Despite the numerous studies on Brown and the raid, Copeland has remained an obscure figure, due primarily to a lack of sources. Only a handful of his letters have survived, and contemporary news accounts tended to ignore the five black men. Thus, Steven Lubet faced a daunting task in writing this biography. To und…
