| Abstract
|
:
|
Exploring the history of Civil War commemorations from both sides of the color line, William Blair places the development of memorial holidays and Emancipation Day celebrations in the context of Reconstruction politics and race relations in the South. His examination demonstrates that the politics of commemoration remain contentious.
