Description

In the 19th-century debate over whether or not the USA must be an explicitly Christian nation, California emerged as a central battleground. Racial teams that were perceived as godless and uncivilized were excluded from suffrage, and evangelism among Indians and the Chinese used to be seen as a politically incendiary act. Joshua Paddison sheds light on Reconstruction’s affect on Indians and Asian American citizens by illustrating how marginalized teams fought for a political voice, refuting racist assumptions with their lives, words, and faith. Reconstruction, he argues, used to be now not simply a remaking of the South, but fairly a multiracial and multiregional process of reimagining the nation.
