Freedom's dominion : a saga of white resistance to federal power
Book
First edition.
A prize-winning historian chronicles the long-running clash between white people and federal authority by focusing on Barbour County, Alabama and its history of fighting Reconstruction, integration, and the New Deal.
Cowie focuses on Barbour County, Alabama, the ancestral home of political firebrand George Wallace. White Americans seized Native lands, championed secession, overthrew Reconstruction, questioned the New Deal, and fought against the civil rights movement. In following two centuries of local clashes between white people and federal authorities, Cowie shows how history summons us to embrace a vigorous model of American citizenship, backed by a federal government that is not afraid to fight the man incarnations of the freedom to dominate. -- adapted from jacket
