After the Civil War, Republicans teamed with activist African Americans to protect black voting rights through innovative constitutional reforms - a radical transformation of southern and national political structures. The Trial of Democracy is a comprehensive analysis of both the forces and mechanisms that led to the implementation of black suffrage and the ultimate failure to maintain a stable northern constituency to support enforcement on a permanent basis.
