Book Synopsis Yankee Town, Southern City by : Steven Elliot Tripp
Book excerpt: Drawing on accounts of people's everyday experience, demonstrates that no one group was able to maintain control of the social structure in the Virginia city during the four overlapping but distinct events of Secession, Civil War, black emancipation, and Reconstruction. Particularly focuses on how blacks and lower- class whites defied the elite's prescription for race relations to express their frustration with elite rule.
